African Action Congress presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has demanded an apology from the Department of State Services and the withdrawal of the cybercrime case filed against him.
Sowore made the demand on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief on Monday, after the DSS directed its counsel to seek an adjournment of the case until after the 2027 presidential election.
The activist described the case as an injustice and argued that the agency had no basis for seeking to suspend proceedings after initiating the prosecution.
According to Sowore, the DSS should instead withdraw the charges, apologise and compensate those he said were “wrongfully tried.”
“Now they have come back and said, ‘We want a long adjournment.’ We are not seeking an adjournment. We want you [DSS] to apologise for doing this to us and to show that you compensate people who are wrongfully tried for committing no crime at all. And you must ensure that people who make these kinds of decisions are displaced from the system.”
The DSS filed the case over social media posts made by Sowore in August 2025 in which he referred to President Bola Tinubu as a “criminal.”
