The 2023 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, and the convener of Revolution Now, Omoyele Sowore, has raised the alarm over his missing bag.
Sowore alarmed the public a few hours after his release from immigration’s detention at the Lagos state international airport on Sunday.
DAILY POST reports that the activist was detained upon his return to Nigeria from the US.
Speaking after his release in a viral interview on Arise TV on Sunday evening, Sowore stated that one of his bags was still missing.
In a now trending video on social media, he said “After they gave me back my seized passport I went to get my bag. Of course one of my bags was missing. My big bag.
“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 the America shows that the bag arrived. But like I said, I hope they didn’t try to do something stupid with my bag.”

A former Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Shamsudeen Usman, has disclosed that he had to join a political party before his confirmation as a minister.
Usman said such was an indication that the life of ministers are not simple and straightforward.
He noted that the political system makes it difficult for ministers to get some of the things they want done.
Featuring on Channels TV’s Politics Today, Usman, who was Minister under former President Goodluck Jonathan said: “If you come in as a technocrat or an economist, there are a lot of things you try to do but the political system is set in such a way that it’s very difficult to get things done properly.
“Public servants have been put there to protect public interest but unfortunately for me, and majority of the public servants; their personal interest tends to over take public interest.
“Instead of being agents for the public, they become principals because it’s their own interest that is prime.
“The day I was appointed Minister, somebody alerted me that for you to get confirmed as a minister you have to register as a member of a political party. As of that time, I was not a member of any political party, so I had to rush to Kano to register.
“This tit-bits I have showed that the life of a minister is never simple, straightforward.
“During my confirmation, some senators from my state decided not to support for political reasons, somebody set them up to do that and I was going to face a serious embarrassment.”
