Omoyele Sowore, publisher of Sahara Reporters and an activist, has “rebuffed the one-week ultimatum” issued to him by the Department of State Services (DSS).
The DSS had demanded he retract what it described as a “false, malicious, and inciting” social media post about President Bola Tinubu.
In a letter dated September 7, 2025, the “secret police” accused Sowore of making “criminal and derogatory” remarks in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on August 26, 2025.
The DSS warned that failure to comply would force it to “explore all lawful means” to protect “national security and public order.”

However, in a post on Monday evening, Sowore “maintained that he would not retract the statement.”
He wrote on his Facebook page, “Secret Police DSS Gives Sowore One-Week Ultimatum To Retract Posts Criticising President Tinubu.”
He then added, “Even if you give me till the end of Tinubu’s tenure in 2027, I will NOT retract my statement.”
The article stated that in his original post, Sowore had described Tinubu as a “criminal,” accusing him of lying after the President reportedly claimed that “corruption no longer existed under his administration.”
