Human rights activist and Publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, has called on Nigerians not to be swayed by what he described as “the desperation” of the Department of State Services (DSS) to frustrate the planned #FreeNnamdiKanuNow march scheduled for October 20, 2025.
In a post on his verified X (formerly Twitter) account, Sowore alleged that the DSS was intimidating and harassing market leaders in Abuja, where mobilization efforts for the march have been ongoing since Monday.
“We have received reports that @OfficialDSSNG, in a state of desperation, is attempting to intimidate and harass market leaders in Abuja, where we have been mobilizing since yesterday, in preparation for the planned action on Monday, October 20, to Free Nnamdi Kanu Now,” Sowore wrote.
He assured Nigerians participating in the mobilization that they had nothing to fear, insisting that no act of intimidation would deter the planned peaceful protest.
“We assure Nigerian citizens, who are working tirelessly, that they should not be swayed by the DSS desperation, and they should rest assured that nothing can stop the planned action and that nothing will happen to anyone,” he added.
The #FreeNnamdiKanuNow campaign is a coordinated effort by activists and civil society groups to demand the release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), who has been detained since 2021 despite court orders granting him bail.
