The Department of State Services (DSS) has reportedly directed its legal counsel, Akinlolu Kehinde, SAN, to seek an adjournment in the alleged cybercrime case involving African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore.
According to the development, the request is expected to push further proceedings in the case until after the 2027 presidential election.
Sowore, a prominent activist, publisher, and political figure, has remained a vocal participant in Nigeria’s political and civic space, with his legal battles continuing to attract public attention.
The decision by the DSS to seek an adjournment could potentially delay the determination of the alleged cybercrime case for an extended period, particularly as Nigeria prepares for the highly anticipated 2027 general elections.
The development is expected to generate reactions from political observers, civil society organisations, and supporters of the AAC presidential candidate, especially over the timing of the proposed adjournment.
