Recall that Omoyele Sowore was told that he needs to be first cleared by the Bola Tinubu led Nigerian government.As he was waiting for clearance, he made the tweet below.
“DETAINED BY THE @NigerianImmigration, my International passport confiscated.
I had just arrived in Nigeria from the USA to the MMIA in Lagos; upon reaching Nigerian Immigration, my passport was seized, and they told me they had orders to detain me.
This is not unexpected because i have always known that It is part of the broader clampdown by the fascist @officialAbat regime on dissent and their fear of the upcoming #FearlessINOctober revolt.
In case this becomes another prolonged and protracted detention, I urge our citizens to ensure they ALL stop tyranny by all means acceptable and necessary, by engaging in the planned series of direct actions slated for October 1st and beyond.
#EndBadGovernaceInNigerianow #RevolutionNow“
Minutes after the tweet, he was told that he can now go.

celebrating his freedom and return to Nigeria.
