Sowore’s Media Aide, Zainab Sadiq, Released From DSS Custody

Zainab Sadiq, a journalist working with the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, has been released from the custody of the Department of State Services, DSS.

 

Sowore announced Zainab’s release in a post on his verified X handle on Friday night.

 

He attributed the development to what he described as the intervention and pressure from Nigerians at home and abroad.

 

“Ms. Zainab Sadiq is finally free from the grip of repression!

 

“To everyone who raised their voice, made calls, demanded justice, and stood firmly against repression: THANK YOU!

 

“When people of conscience unite and stand against injustice, repression can be defeated. Welcome back, Zainab,” Sowore wrote.

 

The DSS had earlier confirmed the detention of Zainab, who was reportedly working with Sowore.

 

No further details were provided on the circumstances surrounding her arrest or the reason for her detention.
