“DETAINED BY THE @NigerianImmigration, my International passport confiscated.”
“I had just arrived in Nigeria from the USA to the MMIA in Lagos; upon reaching Nigerian Immigration, my passport was seized, and they told me they had orders to detain me.”
“This is not un expected because i have always known that It is part of the broader clampdown by the fascist @officialAbat regime on dissent and their fear of the upcoming #FearlessINOctober revolt.*
“In case this becomes another prolonged and protracted detention, I urge our citizens to ensure they ALL stop tyranny by all means acceptable and necessary, by engaging in the planned series of direct actions slated for October 1st and beyond.”

President Bola Tinubu’s case is just like whom the gods wants to destroy they first make mad. It is very unfortunate that Tinubu thinks he can stop 🛑 Press Freedom, silence dissenting voices, activists, criminalise peaceful protests and charge protesters for treason but just like tyrants before him failed he’ll also fail woefully.
The arrest of Omoyele Sowore by the DSS upon his arrival at Lagos Airport, as reported by him, signals another tense moment in Nigeria’s political space.
LSowore, a known activist and vocal critic of the government, particularly under President Bola Tinubu, has been at the forefront of movements like #EndBadGovernance and #RevolutionNow.
His detention and the confiscation of his passport is part of a broader strategy by the government to suppress dissent, especially in the face of planned protests like the #FearlessInOctober revolt that’s coming up.
The Tinubu’s regime continues to clamp down on movements that demand accountability and reforms instead of facing governance delivering the dividends of democracy which he’s woefully failing to do.
How how long will he continue in this suppression and oppression?
Only time will tell…..
