The African Action Congress (AAC) rejects reports that Nigeria’s Department of State Services (DSS) has suspended the prosecution of its presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, over a cyberbullying matter. The party says the DSS should immediately discontinue the prosecution entirely and withdraw the case, adding that it should also issue an apology.
AAC’s position comes after claims that the DSS paused the case until after the 2027 presidential election. Both outlets report the party’s call for a complete withdrawal rather than a temporary halt. The coverage centers on AAC’s reaction to the alleged suspension and what AAC interprets as the DSS’s decision to defer the matter.
While the outlets agree on the party’s demands and the reported timing of the pause, they do not provide further details on the DSS’s reasoning, whether any court process is affected, or the current status of Sowore’s case beyond the suspension claims.
