Sowore Accuses DSS Of Trying To Assassinate Him
Convener of the #revolutionnow movement, Mr. Omoyele Sowore, has alleged that the Department of State Service (DSS) has threatened to kill him after his release on Thursday night.
Mr. Sowore and his co-defendant, Olawale Bakare, were released when Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu of the Federal High Court in Abuja, gave an order at the scheduled commencement of the defendants’ trial on charges of treasonable felony.
The drama in court today started when operatives of DSS tried to rearrest Mr. Sowore and Mr. Bakare in front of Justice Ojukwu.
Mr. Sowore, in an interview with Channels TV correspondent, said that the DSS had allegedly told him that he will not walk out of their detention alive.
“It might be my only word on the record before they kill me; this is an attempt to assassinate me in court. They came with guns and they tried to shoot and they dragged me down in front of a judge after I have been granted bail.
“I said it that these are a bunch of lawless people and they were reluctant to respect the order of the court. Now they have shown it to the whole world.
“They tried to break me in prison, sent delegations to me, offering all kinds of things and I refused and they promised that I will not walk out of their detention alive and that is what they have come to implement today.”
The #RevolutionNow convener urged Nigerians not to be afraid and some people have to make the sacrifice for the Country to work.
“What is important for Nigerians to know is that I am not going to give up until every Nigerian benefit from a country that is theirs and I have made it very clear.
“Nobody in Nigeria should be afraid, it is our country and some people have to make the sacrifice for this country to be a country of rule, law and of dignity; and this also involves even judges, if suspects who have been given bail are not safe in court, the judges themselves are not safe.”
He explained that the sudden exit of justice Ojukwu is due to the manner at which the DSS operatives had caused a scene inside the courtroom.
“That is why the judge had to retire hurriedly into her chambers.
“We urge you to hang around so that you can witness this historic day in Nigeria.”
Sowore, a presidential candidate in the February 2019 elections, was arrested on August 3, just days to a planned protest against “bad governance” in the country.
Both he and his co-defendant are facing seven counts bordering on conspiracy to commit treasonable felony in breach of Section 516 of the Criminal Code Act, money laundering and cybercrimes, amongst others.
They pleaded not guilty to the charge and were granted bail on October 4, in the sum of N100m and N50m respectively with two sureties in like sum.

They, however, were not released until yesterday.

What is d difference between our dear country and the animal world????? This is a Clarion call on all Nigerians(poor,rich,old,young,male,female,no matter the tribe or religion to stand up to this) I don't think we have ever had this so bad ,not even during the military junta.

Listen a tyrant does not understand a peaceful protest, he only understands the shot of a gun. If Nigerians really want a better country, then blood needs to spill. No revolution anywhere in the world that became successful without the spilling of blood. That is just the only way. Let us kidnap these dss guys and slaughter about two of them and livestream it, and see the government seat up with a speed of light.

Buhari is actually acting damn silly right now or he think because they have given him another 4years of misrule, he can do whatever to disrespect the Judiciary? This trash can only happen in Nigeria chasing a Judge out of the court room at gun ? point.

Buhari is not in charge of Nigeria. Quote me. Aisha Buhari is the one giving orders after settling with the cabal. Buhari is senile and Aisha Buhari is afraid of giving up the status of “First Lady” the mere domestic appendage is too scared that Sowore will not cease to enlighten Nigerians so she ordered alongside the cabal in Aso rock the re arrest of Sowore. Just like Jezebel controlled Ahab in the Bible. Aisha Buhari is the Jezebel in Aso rock. Wonders why she is addressing issues of national interest? It is because Buhari is Senile. Aso rock knows this.

This is everybody's business if this is true, we living in a caged system like we are being treated like a second class citizen in our own birth country. Y'all cry for change, but forgot that the person you demanded the change from doesn't have it give to you guys because he doesn't know the meaning of change

Davido reacts to DSS’ ‘forceful’ re-arrest of Sowore
Popular Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, also known as Davido has lamented that democracy was slowly becoming a thing of the past in Nigeria.
Davido said this while reacting to the action of the operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, who invaded an Abuja Federal High Court, chased out lawyers before re-arresting Omoyele Sowore, convener of RevolutionNow Movement.
In a tweet, Davido wrote: ‘Justice slowly becoming a thing of the past in our dear country. A kid somewhere in Nigeria dreaming of becoming a lawyer and bettering the community would see this and start having doubt, just sad.”
Recall that DSS operatives had chased out lawyers from the courtroom and attacked journalists after which they re-arrested Sowore.
Following their invasion of the courtroom, the trial judge, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu adjourned the matter till February 11, 12 and 13 for definite hearing.
The DSS had earlier attempted to re-arrest Sowore but were prevented by those around.
This is coming less than a day after Sowore was released by the DSS after an Abuja Federal High Court ordered for his release within 24 hours.
Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu also ordered the DSS to pay the sum of N100,000 to Sowore, for refusing to release him on bail despite two court orders to that effect.
