Original: OsazuwaAkonedo NewsChronicles ~ 2 Courts Fix Sowore, DSS Cases For Oct 27, Nov 20 Over Post Against Tinubu 2 Courts Fix
Two courts in Abuja have fixed hearings for October 27 and November 20 in cases between activist Omoyele Sowore and the Department of State Services arising from his social media posts about President Bola Tinubu. The cases, dated September 30, 2025, continue a long-running legal standoff between the secret police and the opposition figure over online speech critical of Nigeria's government.
Why now: The case tests free speech limits in Nigeria and involves a prominent government critic and the president, drawing sustained public interest.
