DSS DG Ajayi Behind Placement Of Sowore In Terrible, Unsafe Kuje Prison Cell To Justify Transfer To DSS Custody –Sources

One source claimed that the arrangement was designed to place Sowore directly under the control of the secret police.

Fresh allegations have emerged against the Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Oluwatosin Ajayi, over the detention conditions of human rights activist and African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, at the Kuje Correctional Centre in Abuja.

Sources familiar with the matter told SaharaReporters that the DSS leadership allegedly influenced the decision to place Sowore in a section of the correctional facility considered unsafe, with the intention of creating grounds for his eventual transfer into DSS custody.

According to the sources, the alleged plan is to have Sowore's legal team raise concerns about his detention conditions before the court, after which the DSS would seek an order allowing the activist to be remanded in its custody.
