Omoyele Sowore, convener of #RevolutionNow has been detained by the Department of State Security (DSS) barely 24 hrs after being released from their custody.

DSS officers stormed the Abuja Division of the court on Friday morning to rearrest Sowore and his co-defendant, Olawale Bakare.


It would be recalled that Sowore was released on Thursday after Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, of the Federal High Court, Abuja, the judge handling his treasonable felony trial, said that her November 6 order must be complied with.

At the resume sitting, the prosecutor Hassan Liman informed the trial judge, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu that the order granted by the court was obeyed and the defendants released.

But trouble started when Mr Sowore and his counsel, Mr Falana tried to leave the court room after the sitting on Friday

He was accost by the operatives of the DSS,who tried to forcefully take him out of the court room.

Mr Falana however smuggled him out of the court premises but was given chase by the DSS.
