Missing Bag: Omoyele Sowore’s luggage goes AWOL after Nigerian Immigration Detention
Renowned Nigerian activist and presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has expressed alarm over his missing bag, just hours after his release from immigration detention at Lagos State International Airport on Sunday. According to Sowore, one of his bags remained unaccounted for despite his attempts to retrieve it.
Sowore’s detention came upon his return to Nigeria from the US, and his release followed a viral interview on Arise TV Sunday evening. In the interview, Sowore detailed his encounter with immigration authorities, revealing that one of his bags was still missing. The activist attributed his detention to a brief "seizure" of his international passport and a subsequent interrogation at the airport.
Speaking about his missing bag, Sowore expressed skepticism, saying: "I hope it’s not the DSS that stole it. It is missing but after reaching out to the airline to look for it. The airline said the tracker on my phone from America shows that the bag arrived. But like I said, I hope they didn’t try to do something stupid with my bag."
Sowore’s social media followers were left speculating about the possible motivations behind the disappearance of his luggage. With the authorities yet to issue a statement on the matter, many are left wondering if there is more to the story than meets the eye.
As Sowore’s followers await an update on the status of his missing bag, questions are emerging about the legitimacy of his detention and the potential motivations behind it. One thing is clear: the mystery surrounding Sowore’s missing luggage has sparked a heated debate in Nigeria, with many demanding answers from the authorities.
