Department of State Services, DSS has arrested the a former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore.

Sowore was arrested at the Lagos airport on Sunday upon his arrival in Nigeria, according to Sahara reporters.

Prior to his arrest, reports had it that the DSS had instructed airport security and immigration authorities to intercept and detain Sowore upon his arrival in Nigeria.

It was learnt that the directive, issued by the newly appointed DSS Director General, Adeola Ajayi, stemmed from Sowore’s role in the recent 10-day #EndBadGovernance protests.

Confirming his arrest, Sowore on his official X account, said,” I had just arrived in Nigeria from the USA to the MMIA in Lagos; upon reaching Nigerian Immigration, my passport was seized, and they told me they had orders to detain me.

“This is not un expected because i have always known that It is part of the broader clampdown by the fascist @officialAbat regime on dissent and their fear of the upcoming #FearlessINOctober revolt.

“In case this becomes another prolonged and protracted detention, I urge our citizens to ensure they ALL stop tyranny by all means acceptable and necessary, by engaging in the planned series of direct actions slated for October 1st and beyond.”
