A federal high court in Abuja has threatened to jail Yusuf Bichi, director general of the Department of State Services (DSS), over the continued detention of Omoyele Sowore, convener of the #RevolutionNow Movement, and Olawale Bakare, an activist.

Ijeoma Ojukwu, the judge, gave the warning on Monday.

The judge had previously issued a “notice of consequences of disobedience of court order” otherwise known as form 48 on the DSS.

“Take notice that unless you obey the direction contained in the order of the federal high court of Justice, Abuja made on the 6th November 2019, which ordered you to release the defendants/applicants in suit no: FHC/ABJ/CR/235/2019 forthwith, you will be guilty of contempt of court and will be liable to be committed to prison,” the notice read.

“A copy of the said order of court earlier served on you is hereby annexed for your on the spot reference.

“This court has been informed that even as at today, Tuesday the 12th November 2019 you are yet to comply with the lawful order of the Federal High Court by refusing to release the defendants/applicants namely: Omoyele Stephen Sowore and Olawale Adebayo Bakare (Mandate) in your custody.

“You are hereby directed to comply with the court order forthwith or you will be guilty of contempt of court.”

The DSS arrested Sowore on August 3 and he has been in custody since then despite being granted bail twice.

The activist and his co-accused are standing trial on seven counts of treasonable felony, fraud, cyber-stalking and insulting President Muhammadu Buhari

Until u people stand up against ur oppressor that naija will get it right..... For now it's total left.

The mumu youth will be singing ji masun but they are already snoring

Those who pride themselves in disobeying court orders now should understand that table turns when least expected.

Was this Judge in coma when Buhari took over the Judiciary ? So she still doesn't know Buhari is the only Judge the DSS listens to?

Pls jail him already.....stop threatening to

Stop the threats and take action. You know nobody going to enforce the order but do it anyway. Lol maybe someone in the next administration will carry it out.

Someone said, "There's no longer rule of law in our kwantry. We have LAW of rulers."
I'm tempted to agree.

Na today? In the Nigerian jungle, bullets always defeat the pen. Just like every other third world cesspit.

Okay

WATCH IT.
NOW,
THEY
WILL
GO
FOR
THE
JUDGE

Me I no very well that this is a Scam

The shadow of bubu is covering him, so he will do what he wants or what bubu tells him

Buhari is the alpha and Omega of Nigeria. He decides who is guilty irrespective of the courts or what anybody says.

Until we build strong institutions, instead of strong men, Nigeria will always have a president who feels he is above the law.

See signature.

Only a Judge with an Igbo running blood can have the gut to release such statement of threat directed not just to DSS but to the President whom DSS is indirectly working for.

No wonder the Yorubas are so freaking scared to see Igbos leave Nigeria and abandon them with their Hausa-Fulani masters that won't mind offering them as sallah meat to their Arab guests should Igbos leave Nigeria.



Now I can understand perfectly well why Yorubas are ready to die to ensure Igbos remain trapped in Nigeria with them, what a cowardly tribe

Yinmu. Naija court na local dog, e get where dem level reach.
