Mr Sowore’s lawyer said the deactivation of his client’s NIN “is politically motivated to stop him from participating in the 2023 ...”.

over alleged unlawful and unconstitutional deactivation of his National Identity Number .

“TAKE NOTICE that if after the expiration of SEVEN DAYS, inclusive of the date of service of this letter on you, our client’s National Identity Number is not reactivated, we have the full instruction of our client to approach the appropriate court with jurisdiction to seek this redress and this shall be without further recourse to you,” the January 14, 2022 letter read in part.

“On January 12, 2022, when he wanted to use his National Identity Number to effect certain banking transaction, he discovered to his greatest consternation that his National Identity Number has been deactivated from the National Identity Database. Mr Sowore had told our reporter in an earlier interview that the NIN deactivation affected his permanent voter card, passport and driving licence.

He noted that although he did not have a driving licence, it would be impossible to get one without an active NIN should he have a need for it.Sahara Reporters had reported on earlier on January 12, 2022 that Mr Sowore’s biometric identifications had been deactivated, and he would be unable to use any of the national documents to conduct any transactions within or outside the country.

SSS operatives, in a gestapo manner, arrested Mr Sowore in Lagos in August 2019 after he called for a nationwide #RevolutionNow protest against bad governance, corruption and worsening insecurity on President Muhammadu Buhari’s watch.
