Activist politician Omoyele Sowore has made a startling claim that the Director General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ahmed Abubakar, resigned due to his unwillingness to carry out human rights violations planned by President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Sowore alleged that Abubakar had previously helped former President Muhammadu Buhari commit atrocities, including the abduction of Biafra agitator Nnamdi Kanu. He made these claims in response to the arrest of investigative journalist Adejuwon Soyinka by the Department of State Services (DSS).
Abubakar had resigned his position as NIA DG, citing personal and family reasons. He submitted his resignation letter to President Tinubu and explained to journalists that his resignation was not due to any critical issues.
Reacting to the development, Sowore called for resistance against the government’s alleged human rights abuses. He stated, “The darkest days are here, but we MUST all roundly reject and RESIST. This is full-blown fascism. Let everyone take a position NOW. A #REVOLUTION is INEVITABLE at this point.”
