DSS Blocks Sowore’s Lawyer at Abuja Court, Hearing Disrupted

At the Federal High Court in Abuja, the Department of State Services (DSS) barred one of Omoyele Sowore’s lawyers from entering the courtroom. The move sparked a tense standoff just before the activist’s hearing. Sowore, a journalist and former presidential candidate, is currently held at the Kuje Custodial Centre. His detention follows a court ruling in a cybercrime case brought by the DSS. The agency accused him of calling President Bola Ahmed Tinubu “a criminal” in social media posts. This latest incident has reignited debate over due process and freedom of expression.
