Former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore was not arrested by the Department of State Services DSS but Nigerian Immigration Service ( NIS) shortly after his arrival at the Murtala Muhammad International Airport
This clarification was made by the Special Adviser on information and strategy Bayo Onanuga when some online media erroneously linked Sowore brief arrest to DSS .
Earlier on saturday, the activist had raised an alarm over a plot by security agencies to pick him up and frame him.
Sowore had said, “Yeah! All around in my home town, they’re tryin’ to track me down, yeah! They say they want to bring me in guilty.
“However Babylon must fall! #FearlessInOctober.”
However, constitutional lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, informed Newspot that Sowore had been released with his passport returned.
“Omoyele Sowore released, passport returned to him. Aluta continua,” Adeyanju said.
