Shame! DSS desecrates courtroom, wrestles Sowore to the ground, re-arrests him
BY OUR EDITOR
The Department of State Service (DSS) Friday evaded the courtroom of an Abuja Federal High Court and re-arrested pro-democracy activist and convener of the RevolutionNow protest, Omoyele Sowore.
Sowore and his co-defendant, Olawale Bakare, were re-arrested barely 12 hours after they were released from detention on the order of the court.
VANGUARD reports that armed operatives of the secret service swooped on the defendants after Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu adjourned their trial until February 11, 2020.
Though lawyers and supporters of the defendants tried to resist their arrest, over 100 armed operatives of the DSS bundled Sowore and Bakare out of the court premises in a commando style at about 10:45am.
