Supporters of Nigerian activist Omoyele Sowore allege he was forcibly rearrested and injured by the Department of State Services (DSS) despite a court order directing his transfer to a correctional facility. The incident has sparked outrage among Sowore’s followers, who claim the DSS acted in defiance of the judicial directive. Details surrounding the circumstances of the rearrest remain contested, with the DSS yet to officially comment on the allegations. Sowore, a prominent pro-democracy advocate and former presidential candidate, has been a frequent target of government crackdowns. This latest development raises concerns about the rule of law and the treatment of political opponents in Nigeria. Further investigation is needed to ascertain the facts and ensure accountability for any alleged abuses of power. The incident occurred as Sowore was being transported following a previous court appearance.
