I Offered To Drive Sowore Out Of DSS HQ But Was Turned Down -falana by chibaby1985(f): 9:17am On Nov 20, 2019
Rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), has said that operatives of the Department of State Services turned down his request to drive out detained pro-democracy campaigner and Publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, from the headquarters of the agency in Abuja.

Falana said that he was at the DSS facility following an appointment he booked with the agency to enable him visit his client.
DSS spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, had on Tuesday morning claimed that the service was yet to release Sowore because he could be knocked down by a vehicle if left to go on his own.
Falana while reacting to Afunanya's claim, advised the agency to stop misleading and giving false information to members of the public.
He debunked claims by the DSS spokesperson that he had not called the Director-General of the service, who had failed to respond.

Falana however, urged the DSS to restrain Afunanya from further exposing the country to avoidable ridicule in his desperate bid to justify the illegal detention of Sowore and Olawale Bakare widely known as Mandate.

He said, "Before leaving the headquarters of the SSS, I advised the management to restrain Dr Peter Afunanya from further exposing the country to avoidable ridicule in his desperate bid to justify the illegal detention of our clients.

"In view of the claim of the SSS that Mr Sowore could be knocked down by a moving vehicle if left alone, I offered to drive him out of the headquarters of the agency but my request was turned down."

Falana further revealed that in a brief meeting with Sowore and Bakare, he informed them that upon the verification of their sureties, the Federal High Court had ordered their releases from custody.

He said, "In order to arm them to press for their rights, I gave them a certified true copy of the court order for their release which had been served on the SSS management.
"Our clients debunked the claim of Dr Afunanya that they had been given access to telephone and other facilities."

The DSS has continued to hold on to Sowore and Bakare despite two court orders to release them after meeting bail conditions on both occasions
Sowore was arrested in Lagos on August 3, 2019 for calling on Nigerians to take to the streets in peaceful demonstrations to demand a better country from the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The government has accused him of insulting President Buhari and planning to bring down his government - charges observers around the world including leading legal practitioners describe as frivolous and laughable.

The truth is that the hands of the DSS are tied , till they hear from Buhari in Aso Rock there is nothing they can do , that shows how much Buhari has subverted our Judiciary process , the the Judiciary is no longer an arm of govt but merely a ceremonial apparatus whose actions and verdict now serve as mere entertainment for gullible Nigerians while we wait for the real Judge Buhari to decide his own verdict .. Nigerian Judiciary and their verdict today is mere entertainment just like the cheerleader dance during Half time as it has no effect on the final outcome of the match .

Hmmm, be careful with your comment man, tomorrow is pregnant and no one knows what it holds for him/her. In d past it was Buhari, today is Sowore, it could be u or I or our relatives/friend or even any of Buhari's children tomorrow. We should abhor evil and speak out against oppression.
PMB govt. cannot continue like this, ignoring Court orders isn't healthy for any nation.

True talk bro. PMB has turned the Judiciary to a really ceremonial arm of govt, PMB now chooses which court order to obey. I am pained that the last hope of common man has been turned to a toothless dog. All they need to do is to embark on a full blown strike till PMB govt. starts obeying their judgements. They should closed down the court rooms till sanity returns to the country. The sad part is they are not speaking up or fighting back, the CJN doesn't even care.
The whole nation is just fvcking docile.

The truth is the truth, they were warned but hate for GEJ and SESS region blinded them.

Do you know the amount of insult and hate speech the East received because they refuse to vote a known dictator, after many Nigerians agreed that OBJ will be the last president with military antecedents to ever rule this country?

Let them reap their harvest of hate. I'm less concerned. If Abacha ressurects I'll vote him. Nobody has a monopoly of madness.

Senior Wailer. Obviously the lost of two consecutive elections back to back has made you develop psychaitric disorders and mental imbalance. Keep wailing, even your Goatluck Jonathan is now with APC and Buhari while you are still crying.

In Jesus there is freedom from anxiety, nightmares, bondages of the spiritual world, etc.

Accept Jesus and be free.

Jesus loves you. He wants to give you rest from your labour.
