Sowore Demands Release of Usman Okai Austin After DSS Arrest

In a recent development, human rights attorney Deji Adeyanju has located activist and politician Usman Okai Austin at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command of the Department of State Services (DSS) in Abuja.
Austin was reportedly taken from his Abuja residence in a forceful manner by DSS operatives, who allegedly did not present an arrest warrant during the operation.
Omoyele Sowore, a prominent activist and former presidential candidate, has publicly condemned Austin’s detention. Sowore asserts that the DSS’s actions are a response to allegations made by Austin against Kogi State Governor Usman Ododo.
According to Sowore, Governor Ododo was displeased with Austin’s claims that he had illicitly acquired ₦13 billion since assuming office and sought the DSS’s assistance to interrogate Austin regarding these accusations.
Also, Sowore criticized the DSS’s involvement, describing it as an abuse of power and a tactic to suppress citizens demanding accountability. He stated, “This is an utterly ridiculous reason to arrest Austin Okai… the DSS must release Usman Okai Austin immediately!”
A video obtained by SaharaReporters shows heavily armed security operatives storming Okai’s residence in Abuja and forcefully taking him away. His wife confirmed that the DSS operatives did not present any warrant for his arrest.
As of now, the DSS has not issued an official statement regarding Austin’s arrest, and calls for his immediate release continue to grow.
Governor Usman Ododo has previously faced allegations of corruption. A group of Kogi state indigenes recently accused him of diverting ₦13.4 billion and demanded immediate restitution.

Sunday Mba Advises Lookman to Join Chelsea for a Better Career

Former Super Eagles star Sunday Mba has encouraged Ademola Lookman to consider a move to Chelsea when the summer transfer window opens.
Lookman is expected to leave Atalanta at the end of the season, but his next destination remains uncertain, with several top European clubs reportedly interested. Mba believes the Premier League side would be the perfect fit for the former Leicester City forward.
“If I were in charge of transfers at Chelsea, I would go all out for Lookman. He would be a great addition because of his playing style,” said Mba, who was part of Nigeria’s AFCON-winning squad in 2013.
“Lookman should make Stamford Bridge his next home. His pace, dribbling, creativity, and goal-scoring ability match exactly what Enzo Maresca wants in a forward. With all due respect, Chelsea’s current strikers struggle to offer even two of those qualities.”
