The Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams, has said that the arrest of Omoyele Sowore, the former African Action Congress (ACC) presidential candidate, is a violation of his human rights to freedom of speech.

The Department of State Services (DSS) has officially confirmed the arrest of human rights activist and former chairman of the African Action Congress party Omoyele Sowore at a media chat in Abuja on Sunday, August 4.

Nobel Laureate Professor Wole Soyinka has accused the government of President Muhammadu Buhari of acting like that of former draconian military ruler late General Sani Abacha following the arrest of Sowore by DSS.

The non-governmental organisation focused on human rights, Amnesty International (AI), has asked the federal government to immediately release Omoyele Sowore from DSS custody if the journalist is not being charged for any offence.
