AAC rejects DSS suspension of Sowore's case, gives reason

The African Action Congress (AAC) has rejected the reported suspension of the case against its 2027 presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, by the Department of State Services (DSS). In a statement, the AAC demanded that the DSS immediately discontinue the prosecution of Sowore, stating that Nigerian criminal procedure does not allow for the indefinite suspension of a criminal trial. The AAC views this suspension as a belated acknowledgment that the prosecution has become an embarrassing political burden for the DSS and the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
