The security agency disclosed that the probe is aimed at reviewing the actions of its personnel and determining whether established procedures were followed in the events leading to Sowore's remand.
The development comes amid public discussions and reactions surrounding the activist's detention, with concerns raised by supporters, civil society groups and other stakeholders.
According to the DSS, the investigation is part of its internal accountability mechanisms designed to ensure professionalism, discipline and compliance with operational guidelines among its officers.
