Despite fulfilling his bail conditions, Sowore Omoyele yet to be released from DSS detention






Omoyele Sowore, embattled publisher of SaharaReporters, is yet to be released from the Department of State Services DSS detention despite fulfilling his bail condition yesterday September 25th.
 
His lawyer, Femi Falana, was at the DSS headquarters in Abuja to receive Sowore after his bail conditions were fulfilled but the security agents failed to release him.
 
Justice Taiwo Taiwo of the Federal High Court, in Abuja, had on Tuesday September 24th,  ordered the DSS to release the activist on bail.  The judge asked that Sowore as part of his bail conditions, submit his passport in court. This was done yesterday and a copy of an affidavit of compliance was deposited at the DSS office by Falana.
 
Last night, Falana vowed that himself and his team as well members of Sowore's family vowed not leave the DSS premises until Sowore is released.

DSS explains why Sowore is still in custody despite fulfilling his bail conditions






The Department of State Services, DSS, has given a reason why embattled publisher of Saraha Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, is still in custody despite fulfilling his bail conditions yesterday September 25th.
 
In an interview with Punch, the spokesperson of the DSS, Dr. Peter Afunnaya said the agency is yet to receive the Federal High court Abuja's order granting Sowore bail. 
 

“We have not received the court order. And his (Sowore’s) counsel is a very senior member of the bar and he knows the process to follow; this process has not been followed'' Afunnaya said

Falana was at the DSS headquarters in Abuja yesterday to receive Sowore after the bail condition was fulfilled.
