@sowore @OfficialDSSNG Funny. Someone who has been detained and prefers to be detained by the DSS is making such wild accusations. Sowore, why don't you narrate your experiences at DSS detention facility? Did you drink toilet water too?

@GweniJonathan @masskeemz @EquipPersecuted @juddsaul @RepRileyMoore @USinNigeria @USCIRF @WomenRightsIntl @Consortium_GSHR You used women as human shield and want to blame security operatives? What is this country turning into? This man should be arrested, prosecuted, flogged and jailed for inhumane acts.

@sowore @officialABAT Sodiq was arrested by FAAN Aviation Security and DSS at the airport for being in possession of unregistered drone. Nobody is above the law, even journalists.

@OfficialDSSNG Journalist or not, people must act within the law. FAAN AVSEC and DSS did the right thing. This country is becoming lawless.

RE: DETENTION OF ZAINAB SODIQ 'f'

The Department of State Services (DSS) confirms detention of one Zainab Sodiq at its National Headquarters, Abuja. Subject was intercepted by FAAN AVSEC and operatives of DSS at Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos on July 6, 2026 with an Unmaned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) enroute Abuja from MMIA border control without an 'End User Certificate' (EUC).

It is to be noted that, in compliance with National Security Adviser (NSA), Extant Regulations, which placed restrictions on acquisition and use of drones, Sodiq was intercepted while trying to board a flight to Abuja. When confronted, she admitted to not being in possession of the required documents.

Following due process, Sodiq was allowed to board her scheduled flight in view of a prior engagement in Abuja. She was, however, directed to report on Wednesday, 8 July, for the continuation of the investigation.

In further compliance with the NSA extant rules which conveys on the Service, powers to impound and sanction any individual or cooperate entity operating Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS)/Drones in any part of the country without authorization, Service investigation has commenced. This action is necessitated by global and domestic security concerns associated with operation of drones, especially issues of privacy breaches and safety of individuals.

To this end, the Service reaffirms its commitment to professionalism and adherence to Rule of Law.

@sowore @OfficialDSSNG Mr Sowore, they way I see it, you are the one facing justice for your past and present actions. If you think activism is all about abusing and accusing people to earn cheap popularity, you are in for a long one.

[Arabudasu @Arabudasu]

@NigeriaStories Sowore, are you saying Atiku and Obi are waiting for you to fight for them? A butterfly thinks himself a bird. These people have achieved more than you can ever. Just continue your business of noise making and leave them out of your so-called activism.
