Sowore Condemns Cyber Attack on South African Infrastructure
Omoyele Sowore, a prominent Nigerian political activist, has strongly criticized the ongoing cyber attacks on South African internet infrastructure by a group of Nigerian netizens.
In a recent statement, Sowore expressed his disapproval of the actions, which have disrupted online transportation services for many Africans.
He described the attacks as “unacceptable” and urged for an immediate halt to the activity.
Sowore further emphasized the dangers of “Cyber Xenophobia,” equating it to mental and physical xenophobia, both of which he considers dangerously reprehensible.
He highlighted that such conduct could adversely impact millions of South Africans and Nigerians in the diaspora, stressing that the actions of a few should not lead to harm for many.
The cyber attacks appear to have been sparked by the misconduct of some South Africans, but Sowore maintained that this was not a justification for retaliatory cyber warfare.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
