“Today, I was made aware that DSS DG Tosin Ajayi is spending @officialdssng agency funds to recruit trolls, desperate to impress Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and prove his loyalty. But history is full of @OfficialDSSNG and @PoliceNG security chiefs who used their offices to prop up oppression, abuse citizens, and dehumanize Nigerians, only to end in disgrace or irrelevance.

From the era of Obasanjo to @GEJonathan and @MBuhari, we have seen @OfficialDSSNG chiefs deployed for dirty political jobs, human rights violations, intimidation, and repression.

None escaped the consequences of aligning themselves against the Nigerian people. There was former DSS DG Col. Kayode Areh (rtd), who became notorious during the Obasanjo era; eventually, his belongings were thrown out of his Lagos residence (he was recently rehabilitated with an ambassadorial appointment).
Under Umaru Yar’Adua came another, Afakriya Aduwa Gadzama, whose influence quickly faded.

Under @GEJonathan , Ita Ekpeyong faced a dramatic security crisis at his residence amid corruption allegations. Ekpeyong deployed one of the most notorious @OfficialDSSNG spokespersons, Marilyn Ogar, but we all know how it all ended.

@MBuhari came; with Yusuf Bichi. Controversy and scandal equally dogged his tenure. During his tenure, his soccer-playing son @AbbaBichi and wife lost all the wealth he had illegally acquired, they stole and frittered all, and he is today a nonentity.

Tosin Ajayi, too, will pass. Offices are temporary, power is fleeting, but the damage done against citizens in pursuit of political loyalty remains part of history’s judgment.

No amount of intimidation, troll recruitment, false prosecution, or judicial manipulation will silence resistance. Nigerians deserve a country governed by justice, freedom, accountability, and dignity—not fear.

#RevolutionNow am ready for all of them. #RevolutionNow

By the way, the guy in these photos is a long-time friend, @Chucksakunna, who DG DSS Tosin Adeola Ajayi sends to coordinate the @OfficialDSSNG court PR cases, paying him handsomely to portray DSS as a lovely patriotic agency. But @OfficialDSSNG is evil agency set up to destroy your dreams of free citizenship”

History doesn’t lie. From the military era till now, security chiefs who align against the people always end up on the wrong side of history. You can protect a president, but you cannot protect yourself from the judgment of the streets once you are out of power.

Sowore is basically saying that the ‘judicial manipulation’ we see today is just a temporary shield. Eventually, the law catches up with the lawyers and the judges too. Nigeria needs a complete reset where the law is actually king, not the person in Aso Rock.

The ‘RevolutionNow’ hashtag still scares them. That’s why they spend so much on PR and intimidation. If the government was doing its job and the people were happy, they wouldn’t need to pay anyone to tell us the DSS is a ‘patriotic agency.’

Sowore is right about one thing: the history of DSS Directors in Nigeria is almost always a ‘rise and fall’ story. We’ve seen many security chiefs act like they are immortal, only to be retired and forgotten as soon as a new government comes in. Power in Nigeria is indeed a revolving door.

Using a friend to coordinate PR is classic ‘Nigerian connection.’ It shows that even in the highest security circles, it’s still about ‘who you know’ and who can help you manage the optics. But you can’t polish a cracked mirror; the DSS needs internal reform, not a PR makeover.

Power is fleeting, but the records remain. In 2026, with the internet never forgetting, these chiefs should realize that their actions are being archived in real-time. They won’t just be ‘forgotten’—their names will be linked to their deeds forever on Google.

Calling the DSS an ‘evil agency’ is a strong word, but when you look at the illegal detentions and the way they treat protesters compared to how they handle actual terrorists, you start to see why people feel that way. They need to return to their core mandate of intelligence, not political policing.

The bit about Yusuf Bichi’s son is a low blow, but it highlights the public perception that the families of these chiefs often live large on funds that don’t belong to them. When the father leaves office, the ‘royal’ lifestyle usually vanishes overnight.

The mention of past DGs like Ita Ekpeyong and Yusuf Bichi is a heavy reminder that no matter how much ‘gra-gra’ you do in office, you will eventually become a private citizen. The way the mighty fall in this country should be a lesson to those currently in power.
