Omoyele Sowore, a human rights activist and AAC presidential candidate, alleges that the Department of State Services (DSS) is planning to arraign journalist Zainab Sodiq on an 'unknown offence' as retaliation for public criticism of the agency's handling of her detention.

Sowore claims the DSS Director-General, Tosin Ajayi, is acting out of personal vendetta after Sowore exposed the DSS's alleged abuses and illegal detention of Sodiq.The activist asserts that the detention lacks legitimate legal basis and is instead motivated by Ajayi's bruised ego.Sowore has consistently criticized the DSS over Sodiq's detention, calling it unlawful and demanding her release.

He also accuses Ajayi of orchestrating attacks, manipulating judicial processes, and ordering the arrest of a journalist as part of a campaign to silence him.Sowore details how DSS prosecutors attempted to re-arrest him after his release from Kuje Correctional Centre, despite fulfilling bail conditions.The activist claims a deal was struck to ensure his imprisonment, highlighting ongoing tensions between him and the DSS.
