'DSS DG a coward, Joe Igbokwe lost his mind long ago' - Sowore

African Action Congress presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has lambasted the Department of State Services Director-General, Adeola Ajayi, and an All Progressives Congress chieftain, Joe Igbokwe, over his ongoing cybercrime trial. During a press conference at the Federal High Court in Abuja, Sowore alleged that Ajayi failed to appear in court, sending a representative instead.

He labeled Ajayi as a "coward" for allegedly shirking his duties. Sowore further claimed that the DSS had targeted Igbokwe as a witness in the alleged cybercrime case, disparagingly referring to the APC chieftain. "The DSS DG was supposed to come, but he is a coward; he has been running away from his responsibilities. He started this fight, we didn't run away, but he is running away," Sowore stated.

He also criticized Igbokwe, stating that the DSS had identified supporters of President Tinubu and pointed to Igbokwe as one of the most notorious. "Joe Igbokwe lost his mind a long time ago and he has lost every sense of decency. He used to be decent, but there is nothing that happens that APC does to your brain that doesn't reduce you to dust," Sowore added.

Sowore is currently facing trial for social media posts where he described President Bola Tinubu as a "criminal".
