The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has
reactivated the national identity number (NIN) of Omoyele Sowore, an activist.
Sowore had on January 12, raised concerns over the
deactivation of his NIN, permanent voter card, passport and driver’s licence.
Through his lawyer, Tope Temokun, the activist had
threatened to sue NIMC and its director-general.
“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 (NIN) 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.
However, on Monday, Sowore in a tweet confirmed that his NIN
has been reactivated by the commission.
“Happy to report that after a 7-day ultimatum given to the
lawless Muhammadu Buhari regime I’ve been informed that my national Identity
cards have been reactivated! The struggle against tyranny continues!” he wrote.
