The African Action Congress (AAC) has rejected the reported suspension of the criminal case against its 2027 presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, by the Department of State Services (DSS), demanding the immediate removal of the agency’s Director-General, Tosin Ajayi.
The party, in a statement issued on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Rex I. Elanu, said the reported decision to suspend the case until after the 2027 presidential election was not sufficient, insisting that the prosecution should be discontinued completely.
The AAC argued that there was no provision in Nigerian criminal procedure, to its knowledge, allowing prosecutors to simply suspend a criminal trial indefinitely.
“We do not consider the purported suspension of this needless case to be good news,” the party said.
