The Department of State Services (DSS) has directed its private counsel to suspend the cyberbullying case against African Action Congress presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore until after the 2027 presidential election. The decision was reached following a meeting between DSS Director-General Tosin Ajayi, a senior lawyer, and top officials of the agency’s legal department on August 20.
The move aims to allow Sowore, who plans to contest the January 16, 2027, election, to fully participate in the electoral process without any hindrance. DSS officials view the case as having been ongoing for nearly a year, and suspending it for an additional four months would not significantly impact the outcome. The DSS is expected to formally communicate this decision to the Federal High Court by September 14, 2026, the date when the court resumes regular sessions post-annual judicial vacation.
