The solution to sowore issue lies in the hand of his brothers , the Yoruba people.when they are ready, Nigerians will know.


See the way court and Nigeria was shut down by igbos when NK was held by DSS.

Hedonini:
It is shameful to see how these Oily fake social crusaders like Wole Soyinka and Falana are disgustingly focusing on the DSS itself for blame, while avoiding the elephant in the room - BUHARI.

If this nonsense was happening under Jonathan, they would have called a spade a spade, shouted to high heavens and held Jonathan personally responsible. Now, because their oily fingers have been dirtied by APC corruption, they are telling us about DSS. What has DSS got to do with anything, when a simple order from the presidency is all it takes?

These oily activists are so annoying. Na their way. Bloody Ewedu hypocrites.

Thank you so much.
After human "rice" activist Falana emboldened Buhari by defending him on his non existent certificate, he's now using the other corner of his mouth to blame DSS when he knows d DSS cannot flagrantly disobey court orders without the Express support of Buhari.

Falana is not human right activist

chibu4u2:
Nigerian court have become a mockery of itself.
Court order is almost as useless as used tissue paper.
Top govt officials no longer respect court order.
Well since bubu and co no send court na dss go con obey am?

Bubu is DSS and DSS is Bubu...

Attack dogs they are...

Human rights lawyer , Mr . Femi Falana ( SAN) , on Wednesday , charged the Department of State Services to immediately release the convener of #RevolutionNow protest , Mr . Omoyele Sowore, and Olawale Bakare.
He asked the agency to stop exposing Nigeria to ridicule with its ever-changing excuses for continuing to hold on to them in violation of the Federal High Court ’s order for their release.
Falana was replying the DSS’ latest statement issued by its spokesperson, Peter Ifunaya , on Wednesday , when the agency blamed the continued detention of the Sahara Reporters publisher and Bakare on the failure of their sureties to show up to receive them from custody .
The senior lawyer narrated the steps that his legal team had taken to ensure the release of their clients since a bailiff first attempted to serve the court’ s warrants for the release of the two men on the DSS on November 6, 2019 .
He explained that the agency ’s latest excuse that his clients ’ sureties were not available to receive them was baseless , as it was never part of the conditions of the bail granted them by the Federal High Court in Abuja .
He stated , “ Even when five of us were charged with treasonable felony in May 1992 , we were released after we had met the bail conditions.
“ On that occasion , the SSS never asked our sureties to report after they had been verified by the trial court . I demand for nothing less for my clients under the current political dispensation which ought to be anchored on the Rule of Law.
“ Finally , I confirm that I have an official relationship with the DG of SSS.
“ But since the commencement of the case of Sowore and Bakare the DG has refused to pick my calls while I have since become a persona non grata in the office of the SSS.
“ With respect to the baseless allegation that I am playing to the gallery by demanding for the release of my clients in line with the valid and subsisting order of a competent law court I shall take appropriate action under the law.
“ Meanwhile , the SSS should release our clients from illegal custody and should stop exposing the country to unwarranted ridicule . “
He noted that by imposing the condition that the sureties of the two men should be the ones to receive them from custody , the DSS had turned itself to an appellate court.
He warned that by further holding on to the two men in violation of the bail granted them by the Federal High Court, the DSS “ is aggravating the felony of contempt of court by asking sureties who had been verified by the trial court to report in its office for an illegal verification” .
He stated , “ On November 6, 2019 , the bailiff of the Federal High Court wanted to serve the order of the Federal High court for the immediate release of Messrs Omoyele Sowore and Adebayo Bakare on the State Security Service.
“ Under the pretext that the management had closed for the day the court bailiff was asked to serve the order at 10 am on November 7, 2019.
“ In the company with four members of the defence team the Court Bailiff served the order on November 7, 2019 .
“ After the four lawyers had waited in vain for hours the SSS asked them to go and that they would be contacted on phone to pick up the two detainees after consultations . But the SSS never contacted the lawyers .
“ To our utter dismay , the SSS issued an incendiary statement on November 8, 2019 wherein it was claimed that no one had shown up to receive both detainees.
“ Yesterday ( Tuesday ) two members of the defence team , family members and friends of both detainees reported at the headquarters of the SSS. Some journalists were also there to witness the release of both detainees.
“ Instead of releasing both detainees to their lawyers and family members the SSS fired teargassed and shot into the air . In the process, the lawyers , family members and friends of both detainees were physically attacked by masked security operatives.
“ Some of the journalists were seriously injured.
“ Having proved beyond any reasonable doubt that members of the defence team , family members and friends of the two detainees had reported in the headquarters of the SSS to receive them the story has now changed.
“ The SSS has now said that ‘it is only appropriate that those who stood surety for SOWORE present themselves and have him released to them’ .”
He expressed hope that the agency would release Bakare having shown by its statement that they had no axe to grind with him having invited his sureties to receive him .
He added, “ With respect to Mr . Sowore, we wish to state , without any fear of contradiction , that the SSS has apparently constituted itself into an appellate court over the federal high court .
“ For the avoidance of doubt , no condition is attached to the order of the federal high court for the release of both detainees.
“ Therefore , the SSS is aggravating the felony of contempt of court by asking sureties who had been verified by the trial court to report in its office for an illegal verification.
“ In view of the reckless insinuations of the SSS I am compelled to point out that my colleagues and I did not risk our lives for the purpose of substituting military dictatorship for civilian autocracy.
” It is pertinent to point out that suspects who were presumed innocent under the defunct military junta were not exposed to the crude intimidation that has become the lot of Sowore and Bakare .

Sowore is a Nigerian by Nationality. The Governor of Bauchi just said that Buhari and those who arrest Sowore are Fulanis by Nationality. So this whole Saga is an invasion and war against Nigerians by the Fulanis. It's Fulanisation and Third-Term Agenda for Buhari, a Fulani by Nationality.

coward and useless youth,
mtcheew.

so yorubas should start protesting on the streets for sowore ,abi ?
you cant compare kanu with sowore , kanu had and still has a movement , he limited his agitations to the needs or political aspirations of a group of people so they were able to give him back that support , and lastly kanu was very intelligent and smart to know when to run and when to fight . unfortunately sowore doesn't have ant of these

The biggest ridicule and embarrassment are so called educated people like Falana, Wole Soyinka, Sowore that allowed parochial sentiments to becloud their sense of sound judgement in order to enthrone the tyrannt Nigeria have today.

What is this one spewing Hasn't he met the bail conditions?

But when these same people you mentioned supported GEJ against Kingibe , Mrs Yaradua and the cabal of that time, they were not parochial?
Bros forget that matter: Falana, Soyinka and Sowore operate on a level of integrity and honor no contract can buy nor intimidation stop.

It's good that today all that we warned them about Buhari is now happening before their very eyes.

Nigeria a already a joke..

Sowore or Sowo ibi you call him should remain like that as he is one of the biggest hate speech makers he even built a hate news channel for hate speech making.

Tomide007:

Sowore fought against every government since 1992, and he was the first person that brought out the news that yaraudua was dead, and Johnathan needed to be sworn in.....hate him or love him, he's done more for Nigeria than any politician. Someone that even fought against abacha'a government.

Read my comment again, supported this government, the point is that he know this guys better he would have supported others but not them see what it have brought to him self, no free speech, what was the reason for his arrest.

princetom1:


And he was contesting against?

U need to think before u type

I was reference 2015, don't judge me or less you are me, did he contest in 2015 again what his news agency did for them was making sure the truth was told to the people during that time but he thought this people will allow the same, I pray he will be released

Let them expose us.. It shows the number one man in Nigeria is very useless

All of una wey dey waste your time to fight for your rights, this is the jungle there are no rights. Las las na me go buy naija better money dey the business.

You are still referring to 2015 election! Instead of focusing on what we can change you are wailing for what happen almost 5 yrs ago!

Your head is correct!

The most insulted Nigerian President is GEJ, yet something of this nature did not happen during his regime. God was with the Israelites but anytime they were not satisfied and begin to God against God's will, he normally give them into captivity or bring a harden king that will suffer them. We were buying fuel 98 naira, others items too were not exorbitant, we can see ourselves now. #Change# Next Level#

Our country's leaders and institutions continue to prove they can disobey the court, to prove we are in a lawless society, to prove they are the law themselves, to prove their critics right, to prove they are worse than those before them.

Anybody who is educated up to tertiary level and claim he didn't see this coming in 2015 after buhari won is a bloody foool.

I mean we didn't need a crystal ball and the warning was loud and clear but because it was coming from the SE/SS that they loved to hate so it was termed 'hate speech'. I even wondered if it was the same cerebral yoruba intelligentsias who strongly opposed Abacha that was supporting a Buhari with almost the same antecedent. The level of myopia and hypocrisy was shocking to me, to say the least.

Now they can't get out of the pit they dug themselves in.
