The World Is Watching: Tinubu Must Probe, Suspend FCT Minister Nyesom Wike Over US Property Scandal — Timi Frank

Nyesom Wike 

A Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has called on Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to suspend the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, over allegations of acquiring properties in the United States under suspicious circumstances.

The  Ex-APC Spokesman who currently serves as Ambassador of the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP) to East Africa and the Middle East, made the appeal in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.

Frank said Tinubu must break his silence on the matter and demonstrate consistency in the fight against corruption, recalling how the President swiftly suspended former Humanitarian Affairs Minister, Betta Edu, over corruption allegations that were “far less serious” than those confronting Wike.

Media reports had alleged that Wike purchased property in Florida and registered them under the names of his wife, Justice Eberechi Wike, and their children, Joaquin, Jazmyne, and Jordan.

Frank described Tinubu’s silence on the matter despite “overwhelming evidence” in the public domain as troubling, adding that it sends a dangerous message that some officials are untouchable.

“With detailed reports from credible sources such as People's Gazette and SaharaReporters, and with glaring evidence ignored by anti-corruption agencies like EFCC and ICPC, it sends a dangerous message that some officials are untouchable,” Frank said.

He further warned that the impunity of government officials like Wike weakens citizens’ trust in governance and could fuel uprisings similar to the recent Nepal revolt.

Frank commended Omoyele Sowore of SaharaReporters, the publishers of People’s Gazette and others for “courageously exposing corruption in the country, irrespective of the government officials involved.”

He accused Tinubu of shielding Wike for political reasons ahead of the 2027 elections, warning that such selective justice would damage Nigeria’s global reputation and erode investor confidence.

“The reasons behind this continued inaction in the case of Wike appears to be tied to the political calculations surrounding the 2027 presidential elections.

“However, allowing political ambition to shield corruption will irreparably harm Nigeria’s reputation internationally.

“The world is watching, and this selective justice undermines investor confidence and portrays Nigeria as a nation unable or unwilling to fight corruption—even within its highest offices.”

Frank also criticised the President’s handling of the Rivers State political crisis, arguing that suspending Governor Siminalayi Fubara and House of Assembly members while leaving Wike untouched highlighted inconsistency and favoritism.

He urged Tinubu to immediately suspend Wike and commission an independent investigation into the allegations.

He said, “Furthermore, even when crises erupted in Rivers State, President Tinubu suspended only Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the House of Assembly members while leaving the Minister of FCT, Wike, untouched.

“This inconsistency fuels suspicions of favoritism and political shielding. Nigerians and the international community deserve to know why the President appears reluctant to confront alleged corruption linked to a close political ally.

“Selective enforcement of the law erodes national pride and makes Nigeria a laughing stock among peer nations, many of whom prosecute corruption allegations without hesitation.”

“The President should protect the dignity of Nigeria and the trust of its citizens by rejecting selective justice and political expediency. The integrity of Nigeria’s governance and its image on the global stage depend on it,” he added.

Omoyele Sowore had petitioned the Attorney General of Florida, Hon. James Uthmeier, seeking the forfeiture and prosecution of Wike over illicit property acquisitions in the United States.

In the petition dated September 22, 2025, and signed by his lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, Esq., Sowore accused Wike of secretly purchasing multi-million-dollar real estate in Florida using suspicious cash transactions designed to conceal the source of funds.

According to the petition, Wike, alongside his wife, Justice Eberechi Suzzette Nyesom-Wike of Nigeria’s Court of Appeal, purchased three luxury lakeside properties in Winter Springs, Seminole County, Florida, valued at over $6 million.

The petition listed the properties as 113 Springcreek Lane, Winter Springs, FL 32708, which is a 5,000 sq. ft. residence purchased in cash for $535,000 and transferred to Jordan Wike (25); 209 Hertherwood Court, Winter Springs, FL 32708, which is a 3,401 sq. ft. home acquired for $459,157 in cash and transferred to Joaquin Wike (23); and 208 Hertherwood Court, Winter Springs, FL 32708, which is a 3,901 sq. ft. home bought for $465,000 in cash and transferred to Jazmyne Wike (20).

Sowore’s lawyers said the purchases were executed through quit claim deeds between July 2021 and September 2023 and transferred directly to Wike’s children. They argued that the cash-only acquisitions bypassed banking oversight and raised “serious money laundering concerns.”

Breach of Nigerian and U.S. Laws

The petition alleges that Wike failed to declare these foreign assets to Nigeria’s Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) as required under the Constitution.

It further noted that his legitimate income as a public servant since 1999 could not sustain such multi-million-dollar acquisitions.

The petition argued that the transactions violated both Florida state law and U.S. federal anti-money laundering statutes, specifically citing the Florida Money Laundering Act (Chapter 896.101, Fla. Stat.), the Florida Contraband Forfeiture Act, and federal laws under 18 U.S.C. §§ 1956 and 1957.

It also referenced the U.S. Department of Justice Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative, which targets assets linked to corrupt foreign officials. 

If it were to be in other climes, Wike would be sacked and probed with the speed of the light the moment he was accused of corruption. Nigeria is a country where laws are meant only for the poor, otherwise, Wike won't have the nerves to be granting interviews up and down after the weighty allegations made against him by Sowore. One thing is sure, one day, somebody somewhere is going to open these corrupt leaders' books for a thorough prosecution.

OMOLUABI ETHOS BETRAYED: YORUBA GROUP SLAMS ODUDUWA INTEGRITY ASSOCIATION'S ATTACK ON SOWORE

Omoyele Sowore 

The children of Oduduwa, popularly known as the Yoruba, are renowned for their moral character, credibility, values, and unwavering commitment to equity, fairness, and justice. These noble traits are what earned them the name Omoluabi. Sadly, these very attributes have been cast aside in the self-serving press statement issued by the so-called Oduduwa Integrity Association, a group whose actions betray a lack of integrity. By cursing Sowore instead of addressing truth, and by threatening to stage a shameful rent-a-crowd protest in the Southwest, they expose themselves as compromised, while Sowore exemplifies the true Omoluabi ethos by speaking truth to power.

President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu already has sufficient media and communication machinery to defend his policies, image, and government whenever necessary. He also has the option of seeking legal redress if aggrieved, without the unsolicited intervention of a patronage-seeking “Integrity” group that itself lacks integrity.

Meanwhile, the Oduduwa nation, the Yoruba people, are grappling with multidimensional challenges under Tinubu’s government. The ongoing herdsmen-led attacks amounting to genocide in parts of Northeast Yorubaland, especially against the Ẹgbẹ, the Okun Yoruba in Kogi State, the Igbomina in Kwara, and even some parts of Oyo State, appear to be of little concern to this self-serving association parading under the false banner of “integrity.”

If the immediate past APC presidency of Muhammadu Buhari endangered our land through its tacit tolerance for herdsmen violations and banditry, what has Tinubu—deceitfully voted for by many Yoruba under the mantra of “Èmi ló kan, Yorùbá ló kan”, done to stop the genocidal cleansing of our people by Fulani herdsmen? “Ọmọ ẹni kì í ṣé ìdí bẹ̀bẹ̀rẹ̀ ká fi ìlèkè sí ti ọmọ ẹlòmíì”, one must not adorn another’s child with beads while neglecting one’s own. What is benefits today? Hardship!

Do we need to remind this integrity-lacking group that local government chairmen in Ondo State, where they issued their fatwah against Sowore, are publicly crying out that Governor Aiyedatiwa diverted local government allocations for personal use? Out of a whopping ₦600 million, only a paltry ₦4 million is given to them—yet this is of less concern to these self-serving defenders of Yoruba “interests.”

Now that their attack on Sowore has become a guaranteed meal ticket from the Presidency, can they also tell their paymasters that the majority of Yoruba people are living in abject poverty brought about by anti-poor government policies? Hunger, suffering, despair, and multiple taxation have crippled their sources of livelihood.

We also hope this Omoluabi-traits-lacking group will appeal to Governor Sanwo-Olu and, by extension, the Tinubu presidency, to stop the vicious, cruel, and inhumane displacement and demolition of the homes and means of livelihood of the poor in Okobaba, Otumara, Makoko, Owode Onirin, Oworonshoki, and other parts of Lagos.

The fraudulent citation of alien doctrines with manipulated Bible verses will not work against a people’s hero like Sowore. Genuine children of Oduduwa, not opportunistic akọ́tìlẹ́tà, should know that Ifa philosophy has guidance for every matter under the sun. Odu Ifa Ìkàgbemi teaches:

* "Èégún ìkà ni gbé ìkà,

* Òrìṣà ìkà ni gbé ìkà,

* Bí ìkọ̀kọ̀ òmírìn bá lóyún nù,

* Tíbi tìrẹ ni bí.

* Àdìfá fún Onínúure tí wọ́n máa gba ìmọ̀ràn ìkà lọ.

* Ifa rí inú o,

*  ilẹ rí ìkà,

* Ẹni ń ṣe rere, Ọlọ́run mọ̀.”

Translation:

* The wicked masquerade supports wickedness,

* The wicked deity supports wickedness,

* When the hyena is pregnant, 

* she gives birth to both good and bad,

* Ifa divined for the righteous man being vilified and plotted against.

* Ifa knows our hearts, 

* the earth knows the wicked,

* Olódùmarè knows who truly stands for justice.

Thus, no matter the campaign of calumny against Sowore for speaking truth to power, the impoverished majority know he stands for a better life for them, he is their hero. They also know that the self-appointed defenders of Tinubu are opportunists thriving on the pain and hardship of the people. Groups like the Oduduwa Integrity Association are the true villains.

Nigeria's FCT Minister Nyesom Wike acquires up to 4 properties in Florida from proceeds of corruption, Sowore Tenders Evidence

Wike, his wife and their three Children 

Rights activist Omoyele Sowore has made public evidences confirming that Bola Ahmed Tinubu's Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Ezenwo Wike - CON, GSSRS, and his wife Eberechi Suzzette Nyesom-Wike, a Court of Appeal judge, used "Quit Claim Deeds" to transfer three different Florida properties into the names of their children Jordan, Joaquim, and Jasmyne.

According to Sowore, these are the Quit Claim Deeds that Nyesom Ezenwo Wike - CON, GSSRS, and his wife Eberechi Suzzette Nyesom-Wike, a Court of Appeal judge, used to transfer three different Florida properties into the names of their children Jordan, Joaquim, and Jasmyne. These transfers were done in 2023, but Mr. International Thief said he was not aware. With this discovery, it is now also clear that Wike has a fourth property in Florida at 113 Spring Creek Lane, Winter Springs, FL 32708.

This explains why Wike boasted on Channels Television that he “didn’t know” his wife and children owned mansions in the United States. But the international thief has now been caught in his own web of lies. By the way, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike - CON, GSSRS was due for follow-up treatment for a new ailment and chest infection that recently kept him in London for two weeks, which he was going to do under the guise of attending the UN General Assembly with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu but yesterday the VP, Kashim Shettima was asked to lead the delegation with 7 other ministers, Wike decided to bail out and several state governors have also been told to stay back for now. There is no hiding place anymore.

EXPLAINER AS TO WHY Nyesom Ezenwo Wike - CON, GSSRS, AND HIS WIFE ARE USING A QUIT DEED TO TRANSFER THEIR LAUNDERED WEALTH TO THEIR THREE KIDS: 

A Quit Claim Deed is one of the simplest property transfer documents in U.S. real estate law. It allows one person, the grantor, to sign over whatever ownership interest they may have in a property to another person, the grantee. Crucially, it offers no guarantees the grantor makes no promise that the title is valid, clear, or even legitimate. In short, it transfers “whatever interest” the grantor has, nothing more.

Ordinarily, quit claim deeds are used for routine family transactions, a husband adding a wife to a title, parents transferring property to children, or heirs resolving paperwork after an inheritance. Because they bypass warranties and detailed title checks, they are cheap, quick, and often escape close scrutiny.

But this simplicity is exactly why kleptocrats love them. Corrupt officials exploit "quit claim deeds" to launder stolen wealth. By transferring properties into the names of wives, children, or other relatives, they hide their true ownership. On paper, the transactions appear to be ordinary family planning. In reality, they are deliberate strategies to conceal the original source of illicit funds. No public sale, no market-value exchange, no visible money trail, just the quiet concealment of corruption beneath harmless looking paperwork.

This is precisely what Wike has done. Properties in Florida, purchased with the proceeds of corruption, were quietly moved into the names of his wife, herself a senior judicial officer in Nigeria, and their children. The pattern is a textbook case of laundering stolen Nigerian wealth into U.S. real estate, using quit claim deeds as legal camouflage.

 Under U.S. law, such transactions amount to money laundering and trafficking in stolen property, serious crimes punishable under both state and federal statutes. They are also subject to asset seizure and forfeiture under the U.S. Department of Justice’s Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative.

Wike’s Florida deeds are the very trail of corruption, the very evidence that US prosecutors need to unravel his kleptocracy and reclaim assets stolen from the people of Nigeria.

Omoyele Sowore: Nyesom Wike must be held accountable under U.S. law if he follows Tinubu to the UN General Assembly in New York

Tinubu/Wike

The human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has said the FCT Minister Nyesom Wike must be held accountable under U.S. law if he follows Bola Ahmed Tinubu to the UN General Assembly in New York.

According to Sowore, if Nyesom Ezenwo Wike - CON, GSSRS follows Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to the United Nations General Assembly, he must be arrested to face Florida’s money laundering charges as well as federal indictments for money laundering and asset trafficking.

His money laundering schemes would fall under the Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative, a program of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) designed to combat corruption by foreign public officials, recover the proceeds of foreign bribery and theft laundered into or through the United States, and return stolen assets to the citizens of the countries from which they were taken.


Wike’s Florida mansions, hidden under his wife’s Eberechi Suzzette Nyesom-Wike and children’s names, are textbook examples of laundering proceeds of crime. These properties should be seized, and Wike himself should face indictment under both Florida’s anti-money laundering statutes and U.S. federal law.


Earlier, Omoyele Sowore had accused the Minister of FCT Nyesom Wike, of threatening an Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) official during a by-election in 2016.

Sowore made the claim in a post on X (formerly Twitter), where he shared an old audio recording said to capture Wike making the threats.

He described Wike as “a killer, drunkard, and land thief,” and alleged that the minister bribed INEC officials to rig the election in his favor. He also said Wike threatened to kill those officials if they refused.

Sowore further alleged that Wike recently threatened to assassinate him on behalf of President Bola Tinubu. According to him, “Wike has killed many people, stolen a lot, and escaped justice for too long.”

Re: Demand for Retraction of Criminal, False, and Malicious Post Publication — Omoyele Sowore

 The AAC presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has  replied the @OfficialDSSNG  over an official  letter him demanding him to delete his tweet on X (Twitter) and @facebook  posting against Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubuu. 

Here is their letter:

Sowore's response to their DG:

September 12, 2025

The Director General,

Department of State Security Services,

National Headquarters,

Yellow House,

Aso Drive, Abuja.

Attention: Uwem Davies, fsi

Dear Director General,

Re: Demand for Retraction of Criminal, False, and Malicious Post Publication

I acknowledge receipt of your letter, which you stealthily dumped with a security guard at the office of my attorneys in Abuja, addressed to Abubakar Marshal. I find your horrendous attempt at holding an unwarranted brief for the President not only insidious but fundamentally defective, flawed in principle, and absolutely unlawful.

The State Security Service was not created as a security institution. The SSS, now self-styled as the DSS, began as the “E” Department (Special Branch), an office established in 1948 and initially located in the Office of the Inspector General of Police. It was later renamed the National Security Organization (NSO), but on June 5, 1986, the Federal Military Government issued Decree No. 19, dissolving the NSO and unbundling it into three entities: the SSS for domestic intelligence, the NIA for external intelligence and counterintelligence, and the DIA for military-related intelligence. While the NIA and DIA largely kept faith with their mandates, the SSS under successive Director Generals has consistently acted bullishly, illegally, and unlawfully—serving as a ready tool of oppression for dictatorial regimes bent on breaking rules and repressing the rights of the Nigerian people.

Thus, it is no surprise that you have once again resumed repressive hostility against me.

In 1993, while I was Student Union President at the University of Lagos, policemen abducted me from the university gate during a peaceful pro-democracy protest. I was taken to your Lagos office after being driven around with my head tucked under a seat. From Awolowo Way in Ikoyi, I was detained unlawfully for weeks at the notorious Inter-Center near Ikoyi Cemetery. It took several days of lecture boycotts to force your hand to release me without charges.

Again, in January and June 1996, during and after my National Youth Service Corps in Yola, Adamawa State, your men detained me and later transferred me to the Nigerian Air Force base, where I was held in hand and leg chains for over a week before release, again without charges. My NYSC discharge certificate has been denied to me to this day because of your unlawful detention.

In August 2019, DSS agents invaded my hotel room, abducted me, and detained me for months over trumped-up allegations of treasonable felony, money laundering, and Cybercrime. It was your first attempt to falsely accuse me of insulting a sitting President.

That failed, as did every other false accusation advanced against me by the Government through the SSS and Police. During that period, you flouted several court judgments. Most disgracefully, your men invaded a Federal High Court presided by Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu to abduct me even after bail conditions were met. To this day, you continue to refuse to obey two court judgments ordering the return of my confiscated properties, including several mobile phones and payment of damages.

You and your ilk have dragged me through unscrupulous abuse and gross violations of rights for decades without remorse.

In 2021, during the inglorious Buhari years, your agency propped up a sham group, the Incorporated Trustees of Global Integrity Crusade Network, to sue Sahara Reporters and me on behalf of the criminally minded Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN). They prayed the court to compel me and others to pay Malami ₦2 billion for alleged “trauma and emotional stress” caused by Sahara Reporters’ publications in July 2020.

In his judgment, Justice Obiora Egwuatu awarded ₦100,000 against the litigants, affirming the argument of our attorney, Marshal Abubakar, that they had no right to sue on Malami’s behalf, just as you have no right to act as proxy for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Defamation, the judge reminded, is a personal tort. The AGF should have gone to court himself if he felt defamed.

It is elementary that only the person defamed can sue. Therefore, your attempt to demand a retraction is an incompetent and unlawful attempt to hold the President's brief.

Section 22 of the 1999 Constitution requires the press to uphold the government's responsibility and accountability to the people. Section 39 guarantees every citizen the right to freedom of expression, to hold opinions, and to receive and impart information without interference. Article 9 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights provides the same.

Even in the UK, sedition and libel laws have been repealed as archaic relics of a bygone era. The UN Human Rights Committee in General Comment No. 34 has declared a free, uncensored media essential to democracy. Courts across Africa, including Zimbabwe’s Supreme Court and the African Court in Issa Konate v. Burkina Faso, have ruled that criminal defamation is unjustifiable in a democracy.

Nigeria’s own Court of Appeal, in Arthur Nwankwo v. State (1985), struck down sedition laws when Nwankwo was convicted for criticizing Governor Jim Nwobodo. The court held that sedition was unconstitutional and inimical to free speech. Justice Adekeye, in IGP v. ANPP, asked how long Nigerians must suffer under colonial-era public order ordinances designed to gag dissent.

Criticism is indispensable in a democracy. Freedom of speech includes the right to say what those in power find uncomfortable. Justice Olatawura reminded us that citizens must defend their hard-won freedom of expression, and that those in public office must not be intolerant of criticism. Where boundaries are crossed, the remedy is civil libel, not unlawful repression.

The DSS’s desire to please the powers that be has always destroyed institutions while building “strong men.” But where are those strong men today, after your service broke laws and trampled rights to protect them?

Rather than vilification, we should be commended for living up to our constitutional responsibility to hold leaders accountable. I am glad you made reference to my constant desire to seek change, the very drive that led me to run for the position of President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, even though my commitments and convictions predate partisan political endeavors. It is from that same line of conviction that I have adopted an uncompromising stance, ensuring that this country does not continue down the path of perdition.

You have no business telling me how to criticise the President. But, knowing the nature of your service, it is clear you have not learnt your lessons. Let me state it clearly once again: the determination of the Nigerian people to reclaim their country from thieves in power is unwavering. And it shall be achieved.

Freedom cometh by struggle. Aluta continua, victoria ascerta.

Yours in unwavering service to Nigeria,

Omoyele Sowore

Presidential Spokesperson Bayo Onanuga Asks Omoyele Sowore to Delete his Posts on Tinubu

Bayo Onanuga 

The sets of undemocratic criminals holding sways at the Nigeria's Aso Rock are more than ready to do anything to crippled the decent voices, opposition political parties and anything whatsoever to perpetuate Bola Ahmed Tinubu beyond 2027 as the Nigerian leaders.

The presidential Spokesperson Bayo Onanuga on Tuesday asked the human rights activist and the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress Omoyele Sowore to Delete his Posts on Tinubu from his social media handles.

The Nigeria's Department of State Security Service (DSS) wrote X (Twitter) and Facebook authorities asked them to deactivate Sowore' s pages on the platforms.

Sowore in a statement had said no going back in the struggle against criminals holding Nigerians hostage in the face anti masses political economy of the APC led administration in the country.

Sowore wrote: "Triggered by My Statement, Presidential Spokesperson Bayo Onanuga Writes Me to Delete My Posts on Tinubu"

"Presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, wrote directly to me on WhatsApp, asking that I delete my tweet and Facebook post in which I referred to President Bola Tinubu as a criminal based on Tinubu’s recent speech in Brazil, where he claimed that there is “no more corruption in Nigeria.”

"Onanuga argued that my interpretation was a “misfire,” claiming Tinubu was only referring to the process of sourcing foreign exchange and not corruption as a whole. He even cited examples from business figures like Samad Rabiu to defend his point, and then advised me to delete my post."

Here is his WhatsApp message to me: Good afternoon. Your August 26 tweet that the DSS is complaining about is anchored on a total misinterpretation of what the President said in Brazil. He said there was no more corruption regarding sourcing foreign exchange and that you do not need to know CBN Governor Cardoso to get forex. Prominent business people like Samad Rabiu have all given testimony about this. That was what he meant. Nothing more. You truly misfired. I will advise that you delete the contentious post. Good afternoon.

And here is my response:

Good afternoon. I am surprised that you consider it appropriate to dictate to citizens like me how to interpret what is already in the public domain, especially when it comes to videos and matters that touch on the State of the Nation.

What is more troubling is that in Nigeria today, anyone who dares to criticise the President is instantly subjected to harassment by the DSS, political thugs, and every coercive instrument the state can muster. I once thought perhaps you were unaware of such abuse, but it is now clear you are complicit.

In this regard, it is you who has misfired. Your request reflects not only poor judgment but also the mindset of the principal you represent.

 Nota Bene:* I have known Bayo Onanuga for many decades. Back when I was a student leader in Lagos, Tempo, The News, and PM News were our go-to platforms. Later, before founding Sahara Reporters, I even moonlighted as a "Special Correspondent" for The News, working alongside Kunle Ajibade, Bamidele Johnson, Babajide Kolade-otitoju and Ojudu Babafemi to produce some of the hottest stories of that era.

This clarification is necessary because it explains why Mr. Onanuga may have chosen to write me a private message over my recent post. Out of respect, I sought his permission to make our exchange public, but he did not reply.

There is no going back, the struggle against Tinubu led criminals continues says Sowore as DSS asks X (Twitter) to deactivate his account within 24 hours

Nigerian Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has restated his resolved not to back down in the face of the endless state intimidations via the illegal use of the institutions of the State to silence him at all cost.

Sowore made the new resolution as the Department of State Security Service asked the X (formerly Twitter) to deactivate his account within 24hours. Consequently Sowore has firmly declared that there is no going back. The struggle against these criminals continues ceaselessly with or without a Twitter account, with or without Facebook, and whether I am in jail or outside of it.

DSS letter to X:

His full statement:

Again, the DSS Joins the Fray After Nigeria Police Force Failure

This morning I woke up to yet another act of national disgrace, an assault on institutions, and on common sense. I had seen it coming since last Tuesday, when a group of hired DSS protesters paraded around the Federal High Court and the Federal Ministry of Justice, chanting that I should “leave Tinubu alone,” even demanding that the DSS arrest me.

So it came as no surprise to discover a ridiculously crafted letter from the DSS to X (formerly Twitter), demanding that my Twitter account be deactivated within 24 hours. I won't be surprised if the same has been extended to my @Facebook page, where similar views have gained currency against Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and redundant, corrupt, and non-performing state governors. The brazenness of this is not only unconstitutional, and I need not even mention the constitution, because these guys are outlaws who operate above their own laws; however, this latest self-disgrace by the DSS is a desecration of national dignity.

The Tinubu regime has long hidden behind the Nigeria Police Force to harass, torture, and persecute me. 

First, during the #EndBadGovernance national protest, they ordered Immigration to place me on a no-entry list at all international airports. Then, the illegal IGP had me arrested for calling him what he is. A Federal High Court judge was procured to seize my passport since February 2025. I was then rearrested recently, my cell was broken into by eight armed police officers who injured my right hand, and dragged again to court on trumped-up charges.

They have gone so far as to falsely declare in open court last week that I am engaged in “terrorism financing,” a shameless pretext to justify unlawful actions and prepare the public for further attacks against me in acts that include the use of state actors masquerading as non-state actors to physically harm me, this is the exact reason the  DSS claims that “Tinubu supporters” are angry. But who are these supporters, if not the DSS, the police, and security agencies that have become conscienceless and totally lost to national priority?

To export this disgrace to Twitter in the US shows how far Nigeria has sunk into the hands of its most incompetent and dysfunctional citizens, saddled with the responsibility of managing its national security.

 

The DSS and I have been here before, under the defunct Buhari regime. The same methods were deployed: force, subterfuge, and hiding behind rogue units. It all fell flat. And just as before, the leading actors will once again disappear into obscurity.

I have asked Nigerians the most critical question before, and I ask it again: Do you want to continue being held hostage by a tiny, wicked, inhumane band of rogues?

As for me, there is no going back. The struggle against these criminals continues ceaselessly with or without a Twitter account, with or without Facebook, and whether I am in jail or outside of it.

The struggle continues.

YES OR No?: Total shutdown of Nigeria in August - Omoyele Asks Nigerians

AAC National Leader Omoyele Sowore has asked for the total showdown of Nigeria in a massive protests across the country.

He requested for the opinion of his followers.

Sowore said: "Because of massive injustice plaguing Nigeria, including police, paramilitary personnel, workers, doctors, students, electoral issues, and free speech, I advocate for a TOTAL shutdown of Nigeria in August! Let’s hear you - YES or NO"

August will mark another yearly anniversary of RevolutionNow movement since 2019 where he and some other comrades were arrested for planing a protests. The Nigerian DSS was fined by the court got distrusting the planned RevolutionNow protest.

All if the cases filed against Sowore bouldering on Treasonable Felony were all quashed by the court.

Sowore is now advocating for a TOTAL shutdown of Nigeria in August due to massive injustice plaguing Nigeria, including police, paramilitary personnel, workers, doctors, students, electoral issues, and free speech under the Tinubu led APC government of rouges.

Hundeyin exposes Omoyele Sowore , says He works for same people Tinubu works for

 International Award Winning Investigative Journalist David Hundeyin exposes Omoyele Sowore and those he's working for.

Hundeyin said: "I've already said everything I have to say about him. He works for the same people Tinubu works for."

"Literally all you have to do to confirm this for yourself is pull up the Wikipedia page of Sahara Reporters and see who funds it (Omidyar Network, Ford Foundation, MacArthur Foundation) - all U.S. Intelligence front organisations."

"Just because he wears a beret and shouts #RevolutionNow, some people think that in and of itself must put him against the status quo. Meanwhile the oldest trick in the western foreign intelligence book is to infiltrate and subvert revolutionary spaces using their funded Trojan horses.

They've literally gone as far as embedding their undercover agents into organisations they want to infiltrate and getting them to even marry members of these organisations and raise kids with them. Compared to that level of subversive effort, how hard is it to fund one yellow beret-wearing numpty in West Africa to jump around and destroy the actual revolutionary movement in Nigeria by centring himself as the "revolution," fixing dates and venues for protests (signposting them for the puppet government), and gathering intelligence for them about people who can actually change anything?

Yele Sowore is the biggest fucking plant in West Africa, and I don't understand how this could be more obvious. The dude is literally funded by U.S. Foreign Intelligence. It's in your face! Hundeyin added.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a CIA agent, who do you think Omoyele Sowore is actually working for?

Do you believe David Hundeyin?

Tinubu's INEC: The prospects and challenges of a free, fair and credible elections in 2027

 Bola Tinubu and
His INEC Chairman 

Elections are a central feature of representatives democracies. For elections to express the will of the electorate, they must be ‘free, fair’ and 'credible'.


Free, fair and credible elections are largely determined by the electoral body. Nigeria's independent National Electoral Commission INEC under Professor Mahmood Yakub or anyone as may be later appointed and their subordinates are the major bane and barriers to credible and acceptable elections in Nigeria. While the INEC neutrality is questionable, judiciary has long seized to be the last hope of anybody but a place of judicial trades for the very few with highest influence and highest bidders. The Nigeria's Judicial Service Commission has sanctioned in the past judges handling Election Petition Tribunals but not now any longer with the level of unhindered immunities in the temples of justice. So an unbiased electoral system and body for a free, fair and credible elections are non negotiable.

‘Free’ means that all those entitled to vote have the right to be registered and to vote and must be free to make their choice. According to our constitution, every citizen over the age of 18 is entitled to vote.

Also an election will be considered ‘free’ if you are allowed to decide whether or not to vote and vote freely for the candidate or party of your choice without fear or intimidation and or harassment. A ‘free’ election can also be regarded as where you are confident that who you vote for remains your secret.

By ‘Fair’, it means that all registered political parties have an equal right to contest the elections on the same level ground, campaign for voters support and hold meetings and rallies. This gives them a fair chance to convince voters to vote for them.

A fair election also denote an election in which all voters have an equal opportunity to register, where all votes are counted, and where the final results reflect the actual vote totals.

"Credible" implies an open and transparent process especially by the electoral umpire which will make the actual outcome capable of being believed by the more than simple majority of the citizens.

By credible, it also means the outcome of the the whole process is worthy of the citizens' confidence. The results are reliable and not manipulated. The level of genuine neutrality of the electoral commission dictates the credibility of any election.

Therefore, It's one thing for the election to be free and fair on the filed on election day across polling units, it's another thing entirely for the electoral umpire to admit and allow votes of the people to actually be the final outcome or results. The credibility of an election will make it even more acceptable to the losers and runner up without unnecessary litigations that usually accompany every election in Nigeria.


With the exception of the 1959 and the annulled June 12 1993 general elections, elections in Nigeria have always been marred by irregularities and lack of transparency from electoral body, collusion with either ruling or opposition party for manipulation of the election's outcome, implementing an electoral process with procedures that encourages violence and anarchy . The 1964/65 Western Regional and National elections, the 1979 and 1983 federal election, the 2003 and 2007 presidential and governorship elections were elections that encouraged anarchy as they were generally adjudged far below free, fair and lacked in any measure for credibility test, basically because of INEC collisions with either any of the contending major parties leading to endless litigations in each cases.


Meanwhile, aside the 2015 general elections which can simply be categorised and termed as a mob elections, the 2019 and 2023 general elections overtly revealed that those who voted had done nothing but those who counted and determined the votes are the ones that occupied the Central Processing Unit of the electoral and democratic system as it were very glaring for all to see in those elections.

Despite improved electoral laws and introductions of e-voting machine , B-Vas, there were overt indications of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) been bias, non transparent most especially with uses of even B-Vas, alterations of the election results both on B-Vas and on form EC8, inconclusive elections as a result of materials not timely taken to the polling units on election day.
Collusions with rejected APC national leader Tinubu to upturned the people's will, as Tinubu who paid their pipers dictated their tune in a supposedly general election meant for majority of the citizens to decide on who governs us for a period of four years. Remarks by incumbent president himself that he bought his way to the presidency also confirmed all these.

Coming to term with the individuals occupying various positions within the electoral umpire such as INEC chairman, INEC commissioner among others, the appointments to these positions are political appointments. This is exactly where and reason the credibility of the electoral outcomes are been compromised and sacrificed in Nigeria. Funny enough is that all those that have been appointed and served as INEC chairman are all university professors who have pleasures in subverting the will of the majority for their personal aggrandizements.


The appointment of the incumbent INEC chairman Prof Mahmood Yakubu was said to have been influenced back the in 2018 by Bola Ahmed Tinubu and as a result, against all odds INEC chairman decided the outcome of 2019 presidential election in favour of Major General Muhammadu Buhari who had lost all credibilities to win the Said election considering the level of hungers, compounding existing Boko Haram with bandit and Fulani herdsmen menace amidst human rights violations, lack of respect for rule of law, etc. To simply put it, 'the CIA agent Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been in charged, remotiing and controlling INEC before ever becoming the President and Commander in Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.


The prospects of any free, fair and credible elections under him as the sitting president looks very invincible.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu ensured Buhari was re-elected through his puppet INEC chairman Mahmood Yakub in a grand calculation for his 2023 presidential ambition which saw him and his gangs unleashing all forms of deceits, manipulations and impersonation at the highest order including impersonating the clergymen.

The prospects and chances of having a free, fair and credible elections comes 2027 under the Tinubu led APC anti- people government and an INEC that takes orders directly from him will be absolutely impossible.


On the state of the political parties in Nigeria currently, just like the late military Totalitarian dictator General Sani Abacha was to emerged the sole presidential candidate of the all political parties formedy perior his sudden death in 1998, Tinubu and his Mafia camp have been earnestly working to undermine and subvert the democratic processes, moving the country towards a one party system.

The Tinubu and his Mafias who are in APC and in his government are also directly and indirectly dictating the fates of other political parties as PDP is in their hands too, while the same INEC has been the weapon of distabilisation in Tinubu's hands holding Labour Party (LP) down ineffectively immediately after the 2023 general elections just as was the case with Omoyele Sowore led African Action AAC after 2019 general elections. For the LP, INEC that refused to accept the kangaroo National Convention that returned Barrister Julius Abure as the National Chairman has also refused to upload the names of the Senator Nenadi Esther Usman led National Caretaker Committee of the party even after a Supreme Court judgement sacked else while Chairman Abure. For months now, INEC is still studying the court judgement.


Suffix to this is the fact that this same INEC has made the registration of new party nearly impossible. Even the Social Democratic Party SDP that some aggrieved politicians and citizens seemly running to can't be adjudged clear of Tinubu's influence. He was to contest the 2023 presidential election in the SDP platform if APC had denied him the presidential ticket.


Off season elections conducted so far in Edo, Ondo are another testaments of systemic disruption of oppositions in favour of the ruling party. These are the litmus tests if what to expect in 2027.


Removing the bias, unfair and non neutral Professor Mahmood Yakub by Mr President, to nominate another of his stoogees for the National Assembly to rubber stamped again may not help going forward to 2027 as the entire citizens of voting ages are on the verge of been manipulated and shortchanged again.

An electoral reform by the National Assembly that ensure that the sitting president does not nominate top INEC officers may go a long way to reduce underground and unconstitutional interference in the activities of the umpire.

Conclusively, as our forefathers at independence opted for a democratic and egalitarian society, it's the duties of all of us to mobilize, sensitize citizens on the needs for a credible, free and fair elections. We must continue to speak and stand against Intimidations and brazen harassment of voters as openly seen in 2023 presidential and national assembly elections and most especially the governorship elections in some states and Lagos, Rivers, Kogi in particular.

The essential of governance is to serve the people. Maximum pleasure for greater numbers of people but in the case of Nigeria and her citizens, it has been maximum pains for an absolute majority while the very few and less than minority including the incumbent President are living large in frivolous and lavish spending as seen in their budgetary allocations to themselves. Students loans already cornered. Hunger ruling without mercy, no end in sight to criminalities, terrorism , banditary, Fulani herdsmen menace and kidnapping for ransoms

Nigerians should know that they want to contend and contest not only against brutal Tinubu led APC that believed in antidemocratic highjacking and run with it principles but also against the Tinubu's INEC that will be ready to hand him a certificate of return even if he failed to contest in the forth coming 2027 general elections.


Infact, as far as 2027 is approaching, factor that can ensure free, fair and credible elections will be an unwavering determinations by Nigerians to enforce it at the polling units level against the ruling party, INEC and institutions and agencies of state or the readiness to go the Malian way or Burkina way in another hand if the need be for a democratic reset.

Nigerians should rather win the 2027 elections at the polling units or loss it forever.

Nothing can stop tomorrow’s Protest across Nigeria — Omoyele Sowore

 In response to NPF CAUTIONS AGAINST ILL-TIMED PROTEST ACROSS THE COUNTRY, Omoyele Sowore Wrote: 

The Nigeria Police Force has asked protesters to cancel their April 7 event due to a scheduled program; can the police also refrain from collecting bribes and engaging in extortion tomorrow? Nigeria Police Force #April7thProtest.

It is the Nigeria Police Force under the leadership of ILLEGAL Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, that should reconsider their program. No amount of such initiatives can save Egbetokun from the controversy surrounding his illegal, unjust, and scandalous appointment by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. 

Egbetokun must retire from the Police force after completing his 35 years in service the way others have retired after completing their mandatory years in service. 

Nigeria needs a new police force, not one headed by a spent force IGP utilizing diversionary tactics to shift public attention from his shortcomings and scandals.  

Regardless, tomorrow’s must go across Nigeria. Nothing can stop the movement of the people!

REVEALED: SEAKING in Endless Police Detention Over Cyberbullying Against Pastor E.A. Adeboye

There have been more revelations about the endless detainment of Olumide Ogunsanwo known as SEAKING.

According to Activist and AAC leader Omoyele Sowore, Olumide’s  recent ordeal resulted from alleged cyberbullying against Pastor E.A. Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, in a TikTok video Seaking did in December of 2024. 

This revelation is against the original allegations leveled against SEAKING by the Nigerian Police.

The TikToker, Olumide Ogunsanwo alias Seaking who was previously detained at the Maximum Security Custodial Centre, Kirikiri despite bail application granted by a magistrate court in Lagos was later rearrested within the court premises the day the bail conditions were perfected, according to his lawyer Inibehe Rgfiong.

He was arrested on 20th December, 2024 by the Nigeria Police Force and taken to the Ogba Magistrate Court in Lagos on 23rd December, 2024 to be remanded for 30 days for alleged treason, cyberstalking over his viral TikTok video againstthr police.

According to his lawyer "We opposed the remand application and he was granted bail instead by the very courageous Magistrate. However, due to the Christmas and new year holidays and administrative reasons, we could not perfect his bail immediately."

The day the bail perfection process was concluded and his release warrant signed, he was rearrested within the court premises and was later flown Abuja.

His lawyer Inibehe Rgfiong wrote: "We were before the Magistrate Court of Lagos State sitting in Ogba today, Thursday the 6th day of February, 2025 in respect of the remand proceedings instituted by the Nigeria Police Force against our client, Mr. Olumide Ogunsanwo alias Seaking."

"After the day’s proceedings, Seaking was rearrested within the court premises and taken to the State Police Command, Ikeja before he was subsequently taken to the Murtala Muhammad Airport from where he is being flown to Abuja."

"Seaking was first arrested on 20th December, 2024 and taken before the Magistrate Court on 23rd December, 2024 for remand. We opposed the application for remand for 30 days and the court refused the application."

The Learned Magistrate admitted Seaking to bail and ordered the police to forward a duplicate copy of the case file to the DPP for legal advice. The matter was then adjourned to 16th January, 2025 for report of the DPP Advice.

On 16th January, 2025, we were in court with Seaking but there was no representation for the prosecution. The court further adjourned the proceedings to today, 6th February, 2025.

A police prosecutor appeared today and pleaded for adjournment to enable them file proof of compliance with the order of the court. The Magistrate granted the application and gave the police seven days to file proof of compliance. The case was then adjourned to the 25th day of March, 2025 for report of compliance.

"It is utterly condemnable that the same Nigeria Police Force that initiated an ongoing legal proceedings in Lagos would brazenly rearrest our client who is on bail granted by the court and move him to Abuja."

"We call on the Inspector General of Police to put an end to this outrageous charade and egregious abuse of the legal process and order the immediate release of Seaking."

"The fact that the Nigeria Police Force that is supposed to be Nigeria’s primary law enforcement agency is actively leading the assault on the rule of law is evidence of the alarming state of impunity and lawlessness in the country."  Inibehe Rgfiong said in a signed statement.

Sowore in a social media post confirmed that the SEAKING is in Police Custody because of RCCG General Overseer.

His post: We just departed the DIG Dasuki Galandanchi led Federal Investigation Department (FID) of the Nigeria Police Force, where we met Olumide Ogunsanwo aka SEAKING, he was in the company of police officers who had traveled to Lagos to kidnap him. Adeyanju Deji and Marshal D F Abubakar we present as lawyers representing @Seaking and standing in for @inibehe Effiong!

To our surprise, they disclosed that Olumide’s  recent ordeal resulted from alleged cyberbullying against Pastor E.A. Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, in a TikTok video Seaking did in December of 2024

According to them, one Paul James Adama, using a nebulous “Christian association or group” affiliated with Police PPRO Adejobi Olumuyiwa submitted a “petition” to their office on behalf of the General Overseer. 

We asked how a TikTok video by @seaking303 could bully or frighten a whole General Overseer protected by heavenly angels and worldly security agencies , they quickly ask that “we go and come back” after Jumat prayers but apparently they have no plan to free him from their unjust custody 

Nigerians, I must state that the  decline of the Nigerian police force is indeed disheartening, disgusting and frightening.

Sowore OMOYELE TO BE CHARGED FOR CYBERCRIME TODAY FOR CALLING PRESIDENT TINUBU’S HANDPICKED POLICE IGP, KAYODE EGBETOKUN “ILLEGAL IGP”

The human rights activist and leader of African Action Congress Omoyele Sowore will this morning charged to court by the Nigeria's law enforcement agent Police Force.

This is another stage after Sowore and his lawyer Femi Falana rejected the police's bail conditions.

 According to Omoyele Sowore, these are arguably the most frivolous charges ever filed by Nigerian law enforcement agents. Yele Sowore will be charged for referring to retired and tired IGP Kayode Egbetokun of the Nigeria Police Force as an “Illegal IGP.” Regrettably, Nigeria, whose reputation was initially tarnished, is now beyond redemption!  #RevolutionNow

 @yelesho claimed IG of Nigeria @npf_nigeriapoliceforce , KAYODE Egbetokun, was illegal and incompetent, then he (Egbetokun) quickly moved to court to file charges for cybercrime, with incorrect spellings of Sowore’s 1st name OMOLEYE (instead of Omoyele) and wrong spelling of “incite”. They wrote “insight”

SOWORE has opted to stay in police custody until their silly joke is over

 

Omoyele Sowore has reported rejected the ridiculous bail conditions presented to him by the Nigeria Police Force.

The AAC leader was asked to submit his international passport and present a level 17 Permanent Secretary , instead Sowore has ooffered to remain in police custody pending when the joke is over.

I have rejected a bail condition asking me to present a level 17 Permanent Secretary , instead I have offered to remain in police custody pending when the joke is over with.#RevolutionNow

— Omoyele Sowore (@YeleSowore) January 27, 2025

 

Sowore later wrote: UPDATE: The PoliceNG team assigned to my case has informed me that the DIG of FID, Dasuki Galandachi, has reevaluated my bail conditions, necessitating the production of a level 16 civil servant and the surrender of my international passport, a condition I have declined outright. 

I refuse to participate in any arrangement that undermines my personal integrity.

Below is also the response of my lawyer, Femi Falana SAN to the ridiculous request of the Nigeria Police.

Dear Hon DIG,

Thanks for reducing the bail condition of Mr. Omoyele Sowore to a surety of level 16.

However, i wish to point out that such bail condition has been declared illegal by the Court of Appeal in the case of Dasuki V. Director-General, S.S.S. [2020]10 NWLR PT.1731 PG. 136-143 where Adah JCA (now JSC) held as follows:

"Let me quickly say that of concern it is to us that as a court we must be ready and sensitive enough not to allow or do anything that will run foul of the law. The issue of involving civil servants or Public Officers in the Public Service of the Federation and the State in bail of people accused of criminal offences has never been the practice in Nigeria or any part of the civilized world. It was an oversight on our part to allow it in. Our Civil and Public Service Rules do not have any room for it. Expecting a Level 16 Servant to own property worth N100,000,000, will be running counter to the Public Service Rules and by extension the war against corruption. It is in this respect that I will act ex debito justitiae to ensure that the aspect of involving serving Public Servant below the status of Level 16 Officer in either the state or Public Service of the Federation or any of its agencies be removed and I so order.” 

Our fight for justice will persist, Sowore tells the Nigerian Police Force

The human rights activist and AAC presidential flag bearer the 2019 and 2023 general elections has informed a team of the Nigerian Police officers that fight for justice will persist this year.

Honoring an invitation extended to my by the force headquarters in Abuja, Sowore said he is prepared to face any consequences as he made it clear to the team that the matter revolves around his publicly stated view that the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, who is due for retirement and clearly tired, had his tenure extended illegally. 

He said: ' I maintain that we are entering a promising year, and our fight for justice will persist."

I have recently completed an engagement with a team from the Nigeria Police Force at the Force Intelligence Department (FID) in Abuja, which they referred to as an “interview”. 

According to Omoyele Sowore: The police relied on a rehashed set of information sourced mostly  from the internet. When I asked them to identify the location of the alleged “crime” in Lagos, they provided a vague response, stating it was along the airport road. 

I chose not to provide a written statement, as we informed the Police team that, in the absence of a defined crime, the process to determine such was unnecessary. 

They took a break and later informed me that they were awaiting instructions from their superiors. It seems their plan is to detain me and take me to Lagos for a kangaroo trial. 

However, I am prepared to face any consequences. I made it clear to the team that the matter revolves around my publicly stated view that the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, who is due for retirement and clearly tired, had his tenure extended illegally. I maintain that we are entering a promising year, and our fight for justice will persist.  #RevolutionNow

As Evil Genius Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida sets to Release A Book — A Journey In Service"

 There are lots of expectations as the Nigeria's former military president Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida planned to release a book titled, "A Journey In Service."

Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida is central to Nigeria's political and economic fortune and misfortune post civil war, plunging the country into untold political torment especially pre-June 12 till date.

IBB

According to Comrade Dele Abiola, if IBB will be honest in his account, his book should sheds more lights to the socio-political and economic problems facing the country, leadership conspiracy against the country's citizens, June 12th 1993 election annulment among other evils perpetrated under his military leadership.

Omoyele Sowore said had IBB is planning to release a book titled "A Journey In Service." To be taken seriously, this book must provide a candid account of several significant events, including his assassination of foremost journalist Dele Giwa, the murder of Mamman Vatsa using a phantom coup as an excuse, the June 12, 1993, election annulment the worst democratic crime against Nigeria’s humanity, the Ejigbo plane crash that wiped out middle-level Nigerian Army officers, $12.5 billion Gulf oil windfall theft, unexplained deaths during his tenure, and unprecedented Nigeria's economic decline as a result of unbridled corruption.

Additionally, it is essential Babangida disclose the identities of co-conspirators within the Nigerian armed forces and beyond. Failing to address these issues would render the book A Journey in Mega Falsehoods!

Leadership is the main and major problem of the world most populous black Nation.
