IgbereTV reports that Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has written to Mrs Soyata Maiga, Chairperson of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights and the commission’s members to take action against the harassment of Omoyele Sowore, Olawale Bakare, their sureties and lawyers, particularly Femi Falana, SAN.

According to SERAP, Nigeria’s Department of State Services (DSS) has stated that it would not release the activists until it is allowed to vet sureties that have already been verified by the court.

SERAP deputy director, Kolawole Oluwadare, who released the petition on Sunday noted that the harassment of detained activists, their sureties as well as lawyers who come to their defence, shows a steady slide away from the rule of law and underscores the urgent need for the Commission to insist on the restoration of respect for human rights in Nigeria.

“The harassment is emblematic of a broader pattern of official threats to and harassment of Nigerian civil society. We are concerned that rather than releasing Sowore and Bakare as ordered by the court, the Nigerian authorities are now implicitly intimidating the activists, sureties, and lawyers, particularly Femi Falana”, it said.

The letter copied to Mr. Diego GARCÍA-SAYÁN, UN Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers, read in part: “Apparently sponsored attacks, harassment and intimidation of sureties and lawyers for doing their independent duties undermine and erode the integrity of the legal profession, access to justice, Nigerians’ confidence in the courts, and make a mockery of the entire justice system.

“The harassment is emblematic of a broader pattern of official threats to and harassment of Nigerian civil society. SERAP is seriously concerned that rather than releasing Sowore and Bakare as ordered by the court, the Nigerian authorities are now implicitly intimidating the activists, sureties, and lawyers.

“Sureties and lawyers are essential to ensure the effective operation of the justice system, and the rule of law; they need to be protected not harassed and intimidated. Lawyers ought to have the freedom to carry out their legal work and should never have to suffer any intimidation and harassment for discharging their professional duties.

“These actions hinder the ability of lawyers to freely carry out their professional duties and severely restrict access to justice and fair trials for the detainees, with a consequent erosion of fair administration of justice, equality of arms, and the rule of law. By targeting the detainees’ sureties and lawyers, the Nigerian authorities are implicitly harassing and denying them their right to claim justice.

“Sowore and Bakare were arrested simply for calling a national protest. Amnesty International has declared them prisoners of conscience detained solely for exercising their right to freedom of expression. Sowore, Bakare, their sureties and lawyers particularly Femi Falana continue to face hostility, intimidation and harassment.

“Under Nigerian law, the SSS does not have any power to vet sureties. Also, a group of apparently sponsored ‘protesters’ calling itself ‘Save Nigeria Movement’, asked Femi Falana to ‘stop intimidating security agencies.’ The group recently held a rally in Abuja to say ‘enough is enough’ to Femi Falana.

“SERAP condemns the use of apparently sponsored protesters to harass and intimidate Sowore and Bakare’s lawyers particularly Femi Falana. The intimidation and harassment of Sowore and Bakare’s legal team is intended to, and will most likely lead to, other lawyers being unwilling to defend anyone facing politically motivated and high-profile prosecutions.”

Sowore will only come out stronger. Those disobeying court orders now, might need it tomorrow. If they don’t, their children might.

Does it mean sowore doesn't have sureties? Why is it difficult for them to come pick him up? I am beginning to support dss now..it seem sowore and his gangs 've ulterior motives

They are gradually getting inside the Stomach of the lion they fed, through the mouth. 2023 is a Long way to go.

The 3rd Term ObJ couldn't muster much courage for, GMB will successfully execute same. So much intrigues ahead.

STILL ON SOWORE, BUHARI, DSS

This exposure was passed down to us by Okenwa Enyeribe, whom is the leader of a revolutionary group in Nigeria, this group as the name implies is poised not to work against the government, but to fight corruption and expose the provoking truth within the government, truth which should be known to the public, nevertheless, it seemed along the line on his quest to actualize a Nation with no corruption, he encountered some challenges with the Department of State Security (DSS).

Thus his need to tell his story to the world, and this article should be shared until it gets to Aso-rock, the entire nation needs to hear this, and corruption needs to stop in order to get to a higher state of civilization.

I think Buhari was allowed in by God, to teach Nigerians a lesson about how dangerous and destructive tribalism and ethnic-religious driven decision-making is to any people.

As long as Nigerians do not learn this particular lesson, the next elections after elections would produce more Buhari’s.

Hmmmm, Nigerians are easily deceived. Obviously you can’t comprehend the actions of the DSS. It’s not about sureties, it’s about dss wanting to vet sureties that court has already certified qualified. Can’t u think that DSS wants to blackmail the supposed sureties thereby prolonging their illegal detentions. We Nigerians really have a long way to go. Our comprehension on national issues are really weak hence politicians keep taking us for granted
