Activist and African Action Congress, AAC, presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has criticised the Director-General of the Department of State Services, DSS, Adeola Ajayi, and an All Progressives Congress, APC, chieftain, Joe Igbokwe, over their alleged roles in his ongoing cybercrime trial.
Sowore spoke while addressing journalists at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday, shortly after the court proceedings.
The activist accused Ajayi of failing to appear in court, claiming that the DSS boss sent a representative in his place.
He described the DSS director-general as a coward for allegedly avoiding his responsibilities.
The AAC presidential candidate also disclosed that the DSS had identified Igbokwe as a witness in the alleged cybercrime case, making disparaging remarks about the APC chieftain.
He said, “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.
“He brought a representative and the representative has mostly fallen apart. The DSS helped to identify President Tinubu's supporters and he mentioned the name of the most notorious supporter, Joe Igbokwe.
“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 is facing trial over social media posts in which he described President Bola Tinubu as a “criminal”.
