Zainab Sadiq released from DSS custody after public pressure
Zainab Sadiq, media aide to AAC presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore, was released from Department of State Services (DSS) custody late Friday (July 10, 2026). Sowore announced her release on his verified X handle, crediting the "conscientious intervention and determined pressure of Nigerians at home and abroad." DAILY POST recalls DSS had confirmed her detention earlier, stating she was working with Sowore. The journalist's freedom comes after public campaigns demanding her release following her arrest.
