Alleged defamation: Sowore crossed line – DSS lawyer

He is being prosecuted by the DSS over allegations that he made false claims against President Tinubu by describing him as “a criminal” in posts published on his X and Facebook accounts.

Reacting, the DSS lawyer said, “Mr Sowore actually crossed the line. He tweeted, calling the president a criminal, and that is a joke taken a bit too far.

“You may not like the occupant of the office of the president, but the office ought to be respected. He was asked to take down the tweet, which he refused.”
