The Department of State Services, DSS, has reportedly arrested popular activist and politician, Omoyele Sowore.

Daily Intel Newspaper gathered that Sowore was arrested Sunday morning at Murtala Muhammad International Airport in Ikeja, Lagos State.

His flight left Washington Dulles International Airport at 6.14 EDT and arrived in Lagos at around 9.43 WAT.

On Thursday, 12 September 2024, a DSS memo ordering the arrest of Sowore upon his arrival in Nigeria was leaked.

In a post via his official X handle, Sowore disclosed that he had been detained by the Nigerian Immigration Service and his international passport confiscated.

He wrote: “I had just arrived in Nigeria from the USA at MMIA in Lagos; upon reaching Nigerian Immigration, my passport was seized, and they told me they had orders to detain me.

“This is not unexpected because I have always known that it is part of the broader clampdown by the fascist @officialAbat regime on dissent and their fear of the upcoming #FearlessINOctober revolt.

“In case this becomes another prolonged and protracted detention, I urge our citizens to ensure they ALL stop tyranny by all means acceptable and necessary, by engaging in the planned series of direct actions slated for 1 October and beyond.”
