Publisher of Sahara Reporters and convener of #RevolutionNow campaign cried out on Wednesday night that he has been marked out to be either arrested or assassinated.
Sowore was arrested last year November and later charged with treason, for calling out a nationwide march against the government.
The trial has gone through fits and starts.
The activist and former student unionist, who contested the 2019 election is now under bail but restricted to Abuja.
In a series of tweets, he said he has information that the Defence Intelligence Agency of Nigeria has put a bounty on his head.
According to him, the agency, which is the primary military intelligence agency of the country, wants him to be āarrested or murderedā in the next 24 hours, if he resisted arrest.
āThis is from the Defence HQ here is Abuja! Be it known that this canāt affect the struggle for freedomā, he wrote defiantly.
āOver the week their minions wrote press releases, letters to foreign embassies, @TheNationNews was generous in claiming some āGenuine EndSarsā people want me arrested. The @HQNigerianArmy had a team of @twitter influencers on Sunday suggesting I should be assassinatedā, he said on Twitter.
In an update, he doubled down on the accusation, claiming that the plot to arrest him or terminate him has been hatched for weeks.
āThe plot against me has been on for weeks now, and Iāve been aware until the signal sent to security agencies leaked tonight. The is a businessman linked with the @mbuhari regime whoās threatened me for weeks unending since #endsars started.
āThe @policeng team dispatched to the NASS on Friday opened fire on me and stole one of my vehicles, they refused to return it even it was meant for PRESS duties. The FCT Police Commissioner, Bala Ciroma told me the car committed a crime and will be charged. It was shockingā.
The DIA has not reacted to the serious allegation.
