The African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has disclosed the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number of a SpyTec GPS tracking device attached to the vehicle he used in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Sowore said the device, which he alleged was used to monitor his movements during the ongoing Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Annual General Conference, is a subscription-based SpyTec GPS GL300 tracker.
In a post on X on Wednesday, the activist identified the IMEI associated with the device as 860201067972185.
“The Spytec GPS GL300 tracker that was attached to the vehicle I used in Port Harcourt on Sunday is a subscription-based tracking device, and the IMEI associated with the device is 860201067972185,” Sowore wrote.
He said he would continue investigating the device and its alleged connection to the Department of State Services (DSS) until those responsible for deploying it are identified.
“We will keep tracking the trackers at @OfficialDSSNG until we establish exactly who deployed this device and we know their intention already,” he added.

Sowore had earlier alleged that DSS operatives were tracking his movements in Port Harcourt, where he attended the NBA conference.
According to him, the electronic tracking device was discovered underneath a security vehicle used by his team after he and his associates noticed what he described as “strange movements” following his appearance at a gathering organised by the Kay Hikers group.
Sowore said the team decided to switch vehicles because of their suspicions, leading to the discovery of the device.
“The lawless @OfficialDSSNG has apparently been tracking my movements since I arrived in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, for the Nigerian Bar Association Annual General Conference,” he had written.
“After my speech at the Kay Hikers gathering, we noticed some strange movements and decided to switch vehicles. That was when we discovered an electronic tracking device attached underneath the security vehicle we had used that night.”
He also posted a video purportedly showing the device recovered from underneath the vehicle.
However, Sowore has not provided independent evidence establishing that the DSS deployed the tracker, and the DSS has not publicly confirmed that it placed the device on the vehicle.
The latest disclosure comes amid Sowore’s continued criticism of the Nigerian government and security agencies.
At the ongoing NBA conference in Port Harcourt, Sowore has also called for the removal of governors’ security votes and backed the establishment of federal, state, local government, campus and township police.
He argued that security votes currently controlled by governors should instead be placed in an escrow account that could be used to fund state police and ensure officers are paid.
Sowore’s latest allegation has raised questions about the use of electronic surveillance devices and the extent to which security agencies may monitor political activists and opposition figures.
The AAC presidential candidate has remained an outspoken critic of successive Nigerian administrations and seeks to become the country’s president in the 2027 general elections.
