The DSS is prosecuting activist Sowore for alleged cyberstalking and criminal defamation following social media posts labelling President Tinubu a "criminal," with the court ordering a defence after dismissing a no-case submission.
The Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Oluwatosin Adeola Ajayi, has called for stricter enforcement and punishment for offenders of the Cybercrimes Act, 2024, who criticize or disagree with government officials or individuals.
Ajayi made the call in Abuja during the public presentation of Electronic Evidence, Second Edition (With Evidence Act, 2011) and A Compendium of Cases on Electronic Evidence (Volume II, 2020–2025), authored by retired High Court judge.
He called for greater collaboration between investigators, prosecutors and the judiciary to ensure effective enforcement of the law and that offenders receive appropriate punishment.
Ajayi disclosed that the DSS is deliberately prosecuting carefully selected cybercrime cases capable of serving as a deterrent.
