A former presidential candidate and an activist, Omoyele Sowore, has reacted to the decision by the Department of State Services, DSS, to drag him to court.
The DSS on Tuesday instituted a five-count charge at the
Federal High Court in Abuja against social media platforms X, Meta (parent
company of Facebook), and Sowore.
The charges, marked FHC/ABJ/CR/484/2015, were instituted by
the Federal Republic of Nigeria as complainant, with Sowore, X Inc., and Meta
Inc. listed as defendants.
In his reaction, Sowore said he would be present whenever he
is needed in court.
“The State Security Service, alias @OfficialDSSNG today
filed a 5-count charge at the Federal High Court in Abuja against ‘@X’
(formerly @Twitter), @facebook , and myself,” he wrote on X.
“They claimed that because I called @officialABAT a
criminal, I have somehow committed a set of “novel” offences they invented and
spread across five counts.
“It’s hard to believe there’s anyone sensible left in these
offices that should be making Nigeria work. Regardless, I will be present
whenever this case is assigned for trial. #RevolutionNow.”
Sowore had earlier revealed he was written by the security
outfit who demanded of him to remove the post against the President and tender
an unreserved apology.
The activist, however vowed never to remove his post nor
apologize.
