According to the union, the DSS attempted to humiliate Sowore publicly inside the courtroom despite the fact that he had committed no offence that justified such treatment.
The Yoruba Union, Ìgbìnmọ̀ Májékóbájé Ilé-Yorùbá, has condemned the Department of State Services (DSS) over its treatment of fiery activist and presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, describing the secret police as “useless” and alleging that the agency now operates “like terrorists” under President Bola Tinubu.
The group accused the DSS of plotting to silence Sowore and stop him from participating in future elections, following a second attempt to abduct him in a “Gestapo-style operation” inside a Federal High Court in Nigeria.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by the Convener of the union, Olusola Badero, and signed by the organisation’s Home Director, Princess Balogun, the group condemned the assault on Sowore by DSS operatives.
According to the union, the DSS attempted to humiliate Sowore publicly inside the courtroom despite the fact that, in its view, he had committed no offence that justified such treatment.
