Nigeria's SSS reverses decision to suspend Sowore cyberstalking trial

Nigeria's State Security Service (SSS) has reversed its earlier announcement of 30 August that it would seek to temporarily suspend the cyberstalking trial of activist Omoyele Sowore. The reversal, directed by Director-General Oluwatosin Ajayi, signals a policy shift within the security agency, though the rationale remains unclear. This development matters as it affects the legal proceedings against a prominent government critic and may reflect internal or political pressures.
