Nigeria’s Attorney-General made an unexpected appearance in court on 22 July during the cyberstalking trial of activist Omoyele Sowore. The AGF intervened in the proceedings to seek an order stopping a subpoena issued for the Director-General of the State Security Service.
Sowore's legal team had previously informed the judge that the SSS chief needed to answer questions regarding pretrial developments. Those developments occurred in the build-up to the state charging the activist with cyberstalking after he allegedly called President Bola Tinubu a criminal.
