The African Action Congress (AAC) has rejected the Department of State Services' (DSS) suspension of the prosecution against its presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore. In a statement, the AAC demanded a complete withdrawal of the case. They argued that there is no provision in Nigerian criminal procedure that allows a prosecutor to suspend a criminal trial indefinitely.
The AAC accused the DSS of deploying state resources to prosecute Sowore over his criticism of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, describing it as political persecution and a waste of public resources. The party listed seven demands, including the immediate discontinuation of the case, a formal apology and compensation for Sowore, and the return of his international passport, phones, electronic devices, and other personal property seized by the DSS.
