A Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday threatened to jail the Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Yusuf Bichi for the continued detention of the convener of the revolution now movement, Omoyele Sowore.
The Federal High Court on Tuesday, ordered the
immediate release of Sowore .

In a notice addressed to Bichi and dated September 26, the court berated the DSS DG for not releasing Sowore despite an order to do so.

Taiwo Taiwo, the judge, said there was no subsisting order keeping him in detention.
But the DSS is yet to comply with the order. Owing to the non-compliance, Femi Falana, Sowore’s counsel, went to court seeking the execution of the order.

The court noted in a notice that the failure of the DSS to release Sowore will amount to contempt of court.

The notice entitled, ‘Notice of consequences of disobedience to order of court’ read: “Take notice that unless you obey the direction contained in the order of the Federal High Court of Justice Abuja delivered on 24 September, 2019, which ordered you to release the applicant in suit no: FHC/ABJ/CS/915/2019 forthwith, you will be guilty of contempt of court and will be liable to be committed to prison.

“This court has been informed that even as at today, Thursday the 26th of September, you are yet to comply with the lawful order of the Federal High Court by refusing to release the applicant namely: Omoyele Sowore, in your custody.

“You are hereby directed to comply with the court order forthwith or you will be guilty of contempt of court.”

Sowore was arrested Aug. 3 for convening a nationwide protest, themed #RevolutionNow.

Baba Buhari sef...

Don't worry judge he will start his sentencing when this government term is over simple.

The matter Tire me oooooo

My SW brothers; "Asìm Ndèwo"


Sai baba!

We are now in pseudo-Democracy The Nigerian Constitution had been technically suspended.

Sowore will still be in custody. By tomorrow, the DSS will just shop for another warrant from a Magistrate Court.

Buhari is the new definition of integrity.

The word "integrity" that we used know is not the same as the one that is said to be a major characteristic of buhari. That one is on suspension.

Because I cannot understand how a man who has failed in every way as a responsible president can be said to have integrity. Ask his supporters why they say he has integrity, no answer. So I take it that he has integrity simply because he is buhari not because he has done anything to have such a quality attributed to him. Simply court order he can't obey.

So When next you are asked to define integrity, just say "integrity can be defined as buhari".

Okay, this carried the real news unlike this https://www.nairaland.com/5438704/breaking-release-sowore-go-jail

Does court even exist?

Okay you mean rubber stamped court just like our NASS which is also a pencil in the hands of the executive.

Abegi, the court should park well.
