Sowore slams Tinubu over DSS arrest of Atiku supporter

Omoyele Sowore, presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), accused Bola Tinubu’s administration of using the Department of State Services (DSS) to silence critics. Mubarak Abdullahi, also known as Sardaunan Samari, was arrested after posting on Facebook a fake letter attributed to Tinubu and addressed to the U.S. president, captioned “ATIKU IS COMING.” The DSS filed three charges related to cybercrime and defamation against him at the Federal High Court in Kaduna; Abdullahi admitted sharing the document, apologised and was remanded in custody. Sowore called the arrest sad and warned that those responsible would eventually be held accountable.
