The convener of #RevolutionNow protests, Omoyele Sowore, on Tuesday, disputed the allegation by the Department of State Services that he met several times with âforeign collaboratorsâ in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, and other countries, to strategise on how to topple President Muhammadu Buhariâs government.
He also debunked the agencyâs allegation that he received âmillions of dollarsâ from the alleged collaborators at the meetings to sponsor widespread attacks on Nigeria with a view toppling the Nigerian government.
Sowore, the publisher of Sahara Reporters and a presidential candidate in the last poll, said contrary to the DSSâs claims, he had never visited Dubai or any of the UAE cities.
The activist, who has been in the DSS custody since August 2, 2019, made the rebuttals in a âfurther affidavitâ filed on Tuesday before the Federal High Court in Abuja in support of his motion challenging the order for his detention which the court issued at the instance of the DSS on August 8, 2019.
