The Department of State Services (DSS) has written to X (formerly Twitter), demanding the immediate removal of a tweet posted by human rights activist Omoyele Sowore. The tweet in question allegedly disparages President Tinubu, claiming he lied about the absence of corruption in his regime during a trip to Brazil.

Key Details:

– Tweet Removal Deadline: The DSS has given X 24 hours to remove the tweet.
– Legal Consequences: Failure to comply may result in legal action against X.
– Alleged Offenses: The tweet is said to contain misleading information, hate speech, incitement to violence, and threats to national security, violating Nigerian laws such as the Criminal Code Act and the Cyber Crimes Act 2025.¹

This development highlights the ongoing tensions between the Nigerian government and activists like Sowore, who continue to speak out against perceived injustices and corruption.
