@TheYorubaTimes Nothing is contradictory. Security forces said they arrested close family members & associates of the terrorists thereby forcing the terrorists/kidnappers to release the abducted pupils & teachers. If ransom was paid, how come 3 persons are being prosecuted by the FG?
@sowore@OfficialApC@officialABAT Mr. Sowore has chosen the route of emotional blackmail of the government by claiming forced separation from his family. For once, why not acceptable that you're in the wrong?
@PeterObi Sir, as a former State governor, I am sure you're very much aware that security operations are classified, and guided by certain principles secrecy being one of those. But, since this is election period, you obviously chose to conveniently forget the above. So much for CHARACTER
@SaharaReporters Tope Temokun wants to gain popularity by attacking the DSS since he has obviously failed as a lawyer. He guess he obtained his law license from Oluwole since he obviously doesn't even know the law. I hope DSS just ignore him
DSS arrests journalist who covers Sowore 'for possessing drone without certificate'
The Department of State Services (DSS) says its operatives arrested Zainab Sodiq, a journalist who covers the activities of presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore, for being in possession of a drone “without the required documents”.
Favour Dozie, deputy director, public relations and strategic communications at the DSS, in a statement on Thursday, said Sodiq was intercepted by operatives of Aviation Security (AVSEC), the armed wing of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN); and operatives of the DSS at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos on July 6 with an “Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) enroute Abuja from MMIA border control without an ‘End User Certificate’ (EUC)”.

@OfficialDSSNG Now that the DSS has given explanations for the arrest of the said Sodiq, I hope Mr. Sowore @sowore and his mob, will be responsible enough to apologise for needless heating up the polity. Being in the opposition does not place one above the law
@AloyEjimakor Sowore isn't being unjustly detained. Nor is he being hounded. He is simply taken before a court to defend his claim that the President is a drug lord. We shouldn't make a big deal of such a simple matter. He needs only to prove that P.BAT is indeed a drug baron. Otherwise, hmmm
@sowore@DSS@MBuhari Mr. Sowore is obviously delusional, and has a bloated sense of importance. Otherwise, why would he think that President Tinubu would leave the likes of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, who have considerable political influence, to focus on a relatively small fish like him (Sowore)?
@sowore Let nobody be deceived into joining any protest. Rather, Sowore should be advised to answer to the court. Nigeria is practising a constitutional democracy, not a students union activism. The courts must be obeyed
@TheYorubaTimes Please, stop giving publicity to these attention seekers. They are only looking to earn money from social media companies bu posting what will trend. Ignore them, please
@SaharaReporters So DSS DG must now be the CJN & Comptroller General of the NCoS at the same time for him to be able to order the remand of someone, and also determine which section of a particular prison to keep the person in. Sahara Reporters, you no try
@OfficialDSSNG Anyone in doubt as to the proprietary of actions of the DSS, and its officials on this particular Sowore issue, is requested to take a listen to the 23rd June '26 edition of Seun Okinbaloye's Politics Today on Channels TV. The guest did a fantastic job
@sowore Sowore dey use his followers catch cruise! While his followers dey inhale Police teargas, him dey enjoy the publicity. What we need is higher political consciousness, not a misguided revolution
@sowore@NUJNIGERIA For him to deny the commitment of the DSS under Mr. Ajayi to upholding human rights, Omoyele Sowore is probably the most delusional person in this country. It is obvious that he can't accept his obvious faults. What an immature man!
@SaharaReporters Sowore is just a cheap propaganda exponent. He paints himself as the only one who is always on the right side of the law and morality. Someone should advise the fake messiah to go and answer to the law
@sowore@officialABAT Bail is a conditional privilege, not a shield from the law. If a defendant violates court terms, their bail becomes invalid. The law applies equally to everyone—including activists—and courts rule based on legal merit, not public sentiment. DSS has a proven record of success
@trigottista@OfficialDSSNG The DSS has delivered on its intelligence mandate. Following patterns in other States, agencies saddled with responsibilities to enforce the law must now move quickly instead of leaking sensitive data that undermines operations.
@instablog9ja Three "gbosah" for our gallant security agencies. In many countries, people encourage and appreciate their security agents. In Nigeria, we often don’t value them and we curse them instead. Yet they’re human like us. If they’re killed, no one mourns or protests.
