JUST IN: Presidency Denies Authorising Sowore's Rearrest by Racoon(m): 3:04pm On Dec 08, 2019
The Nigerian Presidency has denied ordering the rearrest of pro-democracy campaigner and journalist, Omoyele Sowore, on Friday at the Federal High Court in Abuja.

Sowore was rearrested by the Department of State Services less than 24 hours after he was released from 125 days of arbitrary detention.

The DSS is under the direct control and supervision of the Presidency.

In a statement on Sunday, spokesperson for President Muhammadu Buhari, Garba Shehu, denied granting permission to the DSS to carry out the rearrest.

Shehu said, "The DSS does not necessarily need the permission of the Presidency in all cases to carry out its essential responsibilities that are laid down in the Nigerian constitution – which was the foundation for the restoration of democracy in our country in 1999.

"However, it should not surprise anyone who has followed his actions and words that Sowore is a person of interest to the DSS."

He added that Sowore was rearrested for calling for a revolution, an alleged offence for which he has been granted bail twice by the Federal High Court in Abuja.

Sowore was first arrested on August 3 for calling on Nigerians to pour out to the streets in peaceful demonstrations to demand a better country from the administration of President Buhari.

The trail in a case brought against him by the government was ongoing at the Abuja court on Friday when the DSS stormed the place to forcefully take him away.

We don hear, Lauretta already told us.

I also believe the arrest was also staged, but my question is where is Sowore right now?

DSS need to keep him safe from harm.

More damage control going wrong.A DSS that is under the direct control and supervision of the Mr.President? So why is the DG-DSS or all the operatives involved in this show of shame yet to be arrested for immediate prosecution?

Meanwhile, why is the lying government yet to arrest any of the alleged "Sowore supporters" that mobbed him in court if truly the DSS operatives were not involved in this show of shame?

Or the govt mean to tell Nigerians that it's not aware or illegal persons can invade our courts to commit such judicial sacrilege without any array of the Nigerian security agencies apprehending them?

Recall how the DSS illegally broke into judges houses, committed brigandage @ the NASS, assaulted NASS leaders @ their houses, invaded Benue HOA all last year?

Just See how this government is shamelessly lying and disgracing itself as well as this nation? Nigeria has never had it this bad.Not even under the despotic IBB or Abacha.

They were surprised at the backlash.
Worst than when the guy was initially arrested.

Whoever advised them on this got it all wrong.

Doublespeak presidency.
On one hand they denied the DSS action, on the other hand, they claimed Sowore deserve it.

And did you also see this "....The DSS is under direct control & supervision of the Presidency" or you want to deny on his behalf that he is not aware or in charge as usual?

You mean the work of rearesting someone for an offense for which he had been given bail by a Court?

Did he breach the condition of his bail or what?

May your life become what Nigeria has become under buhari. Amen.
