African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate and SaharaReporters publisher, Omoyele Sowore, has accused the Department of State Services (DSS) of monitoring his movements in Rivers State.
Sowore made the allegation in a post on his 𝕏 account on Tuesday, claiming that he and his team discovered an electronic tracking device attached beneath their security vehicle.
He said the device was discovered after they noticed unusual movements and decided to change vehicles.
Sowore alleged that the DSS had been monitoring him since his arrival in Port Harcourt for the Nigerian Bar Association Annual General Conference.
He wrote: “The lawless @OfficialDSSNG has apparently been tracking my movements since I arrived in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, for the Nigerian Bar Association Annual General Conference. After my speech at the Kay Hikers gathering, we noticed some strange movements and decided to switch vehicles. That was when we discovered an electronic tracking device attached underneath the security vehicle we had used that night.
“They are really scared!”
Sowore also shared a video which he said showed the alleged tracking device.
The allegation has not been independently verified, and it is not clear from the information provided whether the device was installed by the DSS or who placed it under the vehicle.
Meanwhile, Sowore has questioned the chances of Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in solving the country’s challenges.
Speaking at the NBA conference in Port Harcourt on Monday, Sowore also criticised the records of former Rivers State Governor and ex-Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi.
He argued that Obi did not perform adequately during his tenure as governor of Anambra State, particularly in the areas of education and other public services.
Sowore’s comments came during discussions about politicians who had previously held public office and what he described as their failure to make significant improvements in the country.
