The Department of State Services has again denied access to Omoyele Sowore's lawyers, who wanted to retrieve him from their detention facility after the agency's spokesperson, Peter Afunaya, claimed that no one had come for Sowore.

Afunaya said the organisation was a law-abiding agency committed to the rule of law on Friday night.

Falana had refuted the claims, saying his lawyers waited at the facility on Thursday for four hours to no avail.

However, on Saturday morning, lawyers and activists stormed the facility to take Sowore home but were met with stiff resistance by operatives, who said they had no clearance to let him go.

The development comes amidst public condemnation of theatrics by the DSS that had flouted two court orders for Sowore's release.

DSS is behaving anyhow because Ya-raba people failed to stand behind their own. Dss saw their unstableness and used it against their son.

I remember when Nnamdi Kanu was granted bail ánd Bulhari refused. By now, sit at home protest and massive road protest where rocking the whole SE

There is a need for massive mobilization of Nigerians to DSS office on Monday if he has not been released by then. Let’s shut down the road leading to the facility. No entry or exit from DSS office. Enough of this nonsense.

Sowore is a Nigerian and he’s fighting for all Nigerians. We must resist all attempt to tribalize Sowore’s struggle. This is the time for Nigerians to unite and tell DSS enough is enough and not a time to play the usual silly ethnic card.

Sometimes I wonder how less than 100,000 security operatives of a country is able to instill fear and intimidation on more than 160 million people. How can so few people decide to make the whole Nation a subject of mockery and feel good and untouchable about it? What is really going on in this country? Are we back to military days? What did GEJ do that APC hasn't multiplied? Why is one man and few hawks around him having a feel day destroying every gain Democracy has made before their accension? Our institutions has been destroyed and laws balkanized. Honestly I weep for my country Nigeria. We have never had it so bad. But one thing I believe is that this evil will not linger. It cannot continue.
