Femi Falana, has lashed out at the Department of State Services (DSS) over its statement in which it denied invading a trial court to rearrest Omoyele Sowore, Igbere TV reports.

Recall that the DSS alleged that the #RevolutionNow convener violated his bail conditions hence his rearrest.

The secret police who insisted that they are a law-abiding agency, also claimed that Sowore's supporters “stage-managed the drama” in the Federal High Court to bring the service to disrepute.

Reacting to DSS' statement on his client's rearrest, Femi Falana wondered why head of the DSS team apologized to the presiding judge Ijeoma Ojukwu when asked to justify invasion of the court, Igbere TV reports.

The human rights activist who further claimed that some of the DSS operatives disguised in lawyer’s outfit were inside the courtroom, averred that the head of the DSS team offered an apology before he was asked to withdraw his men from the courtroom.

“As soon as the case was adjourned the SSS pounced on Sowore and caused a disruption of the proceedings of the court. Having taken over the court room vi et armis Justice Ojukwu hurriedly rose and asked the Registrar to adjourn all other cases. After the learned trial judge had risen for the day she summoned the heads of the prosecution and defence teams to her chambers,” Falana said.

“When the lead prosecutor, Dr. Liman Hassan SAN denied knowledge of the invasion of her court she directed him to invite the head of the SSS team in the court. When challenged to justify the invasion of the court the officer could not. He apologised to Justice Ojukwu on behalf of the SSS. The judge then directed the officer to withdraw the SSS operatives from the courtroom. The directive was complied with as the operatives withdrew from the courtroom but rushed out to join their colleagues who had taken over the entire court house.

“Though, ordinarily, officers of the Service do not wear any uniform, on the 6th day of December, some of them were in mufti, many were not only armed but also masked while others disguised in lawyer’s black and white suit. Regardless of the form of appearance, the officers of the Service inside Court No. 7 were identifiable by their roles and acts of seizing Sowore and pinning him down.”



According to Falana the DSS operatives who couldn't provide a warrant of arrest also failed to inform the trial court that his client violated his bail conditions. He also described the arrest as illegal.



“Before submitting himself for arrest Sowore had rightly demanded for a warrant of arrest and detention order but the sss operatives were unable to produce either,” he said.

“In rationalizing the re-arrest of Sowore, which is denied in the same Press statement, the Serivce alleged that Sowore held metings with some people. Assuming without conceding that Sowore held meetings with some people in Transcorp Hotel as alleged by the sss, why did the Prosecution not inform the trial court that the defendant had breached his bail condition?"

Aside from dullards, no one expect all DSS operatives to wear tags.
Yet, zombies have been denying the invasion because they can't see men on uniforms.

Sowore should enjoy the fruit of his campaign labour for Buhari in peace

See how this government have bred up shameless liars in every spheres of government, even in a supposed highly professional security outfit like the DSS? Nigeria has never had it this low. Not even with IBB or Abacha.

This is a big shame to Buhari, APC govt, DSS, Lauretta Onochie, Garba Shehu as well as all the dead brain zombies of this present useless govt who shamelessly tried to explain away this national and international embarrassment.You will all go miserably.

Whatever this government cares to deny is actually the truth.

Bad people have taken over the nation - Aisha buhari

APC = LIES
NEXT LEVEL = HARDSHIP

The DSS just reached rock bottom and have started digging. Lies upon lies, denying the obvious without any atom of shame! The important thing here is: they invaded the courtroom, even if they did not successfully arrest him in there



People get used to anything. The less you think about your oppression, the more your tolerance for it grows. After a while, people just think oppression is the normal state of things. But to become free, you have to be acutely aware of being a slave.

Assata Shakur,

I believe this story because SSS men are always on mufti

“Though, ordinarily, officers of the Service do not wear any uniform, on the 6th day of December, some of them were in mufti, many were not only armed but also masked while others disguised in lawyer’s black and white suit[b][/b].

... honestly DSS fall hand. On this matter, them shit for church.

The DSS staffs are not different from this present INEC and every other politicians , all out to protect their pot of soup, those officers can't afford to lose job now , hence attempts to impress the ex general using military approach knowing the dictator style.

Soyinka said a pack of dogs exercised caution than the Duara Secret Service in court scrambling for Omoyele Sowore Mandela .

This lawless administration & their supporters will not escape judgement, either here on earth or in the life after.


Mare mortals behaving like GOD.

I personally warned people against voting this current disaster but they shouted CHANGE which has now become full CHAIN-GE.


Please show me what change Gen Buharin has brought if not anarchy, lawlessness and bloodletting.

Later they said is ‘NEXT LEBU’ & here we are as a people and country with increase suffering, and poverty across the land.

Buharin as a confirmed tyrant will surely end in The Hague.

As a true Omoluabi, I will not watch and see my fellow Yoruba, thou warned, to continue to suffer under some miscreants calling themselves Presidency.


All of you have a date with posterity.

God bless Nigeria.

Sowore enjoying the Ewodu soup he cooked for Nigerians

We need Sowore to be released

Nigeria don cast

This kontri is doomed... the govt will never take responsibility for once! Lies upon lies! Sowore used his hands/mouth to bring this upon himself though but if rule of law can be openly disrespected...i just advise everyone to be careful to stay alive in Naija. This is not the era to be a superhero...else, they shoot u and blame u for putting urself infront of their gun

If not for the fact that DSS team did not handle the boy's case with maturity and professionalism, a lot of Nigerians will by now know that Sowore is just an empty barel.
I'm not pained much about his matter cos it's not a surprise to me, falz daddy takes much of my concern because of his age and how far he has gone in human right activism in nigeria. I advise him not to allow that boy to rubbish his hard earned integrity. Even though I understand that the lawyers will even be the ones to guide you through to let you loose from court's rope but norwithstanding, by now, Falana should know that Sowore aiint loyal!



When the lead prosecutor, Dr. Liman Hassan SAN denied knowledge of the invasion of her court she directed him to invite the head of the SSS team in the court. When challenged to justify the invasion of the court the officer could not.

The same Judge he & they earlier claimed ran away, was the one still giving instructions to lead prosecutor and the boss of the accaimed terrorist group still bowed and apologised to the 'run away' judge, haba mana! We want to eat shiit but definitely not this one Mr Human Right Activist.

are you okay at all?do you have conscience? are your brain stilll intact? you dont deserve to be living among the living things I swear.

So Sowore and Falana are feigning ignorance of who they are dealing with bah?

Their palavas

What is disturbing is the President's silence on this matter, it's so annoying

With the case of Elzarzarky still fresh in mind, nothing that ever comes out from Falana can I believe. He looked into the camera and lied to the whole 200million Nigerians and beyond that El-zarzaky was going blind, that he was close to death, that he has been shot with shrapnels of bullets still inside his wife. All in a bid to get the man an undeserved medical trip abroad. The man got there and was seeking asylum visa.

Falana was an accomplice of Elzarzaky, a liar and a cheat therefore I will never take anything he says to be true.

The videos has vindicated the DSS. Even Sahara reporters in the cause of trying to do damage control to defend their numerous lies(judge was chased with guns, guns were brandished openly in Court) posted a video that clearly showed DSS officials retreating from the court room and non of them held a gun.

The said man on suit pinning Sowore down can be seen in the picture below, before they started their movie, hailing Sowore inside the court.

If you like quote and curse till Jesus comes back you will be duly ignored.

It's really a show of shame for the nation that this is bunch of DSS that we have.
I weep for this destructive.country . The country is being managed by some disgruntled and destructive people.

A show of shame for a DSS to invade a court room and arrest a suspect without no arrest warrant.....if there's even an arrest warrant. The presiding judge still have the authority to judge in favour or against the warrant depending on where the warrant is coming from

It's really a show of shame.

Sowore deserves all he is getting. He never learned from his mentor abiola who was dining with devils. Sowore the con man who used 150m donations to get 30k votes now calling for revolution hahaha

Mandates escape is the best alternative......... He cannot do much from the outside, other than sticking the middle finger at the DSS..........

I would have said sowore is reaping what he sowed but on a second thought, the whole scenario leading to the arrest was unlawful, from security agency dressing up as lawyers, to the masking of some of their agent... speak no good of this evil forest called Nigeria and leave no hope for the common man whose trying to exercise his right.
In fact am tired of hearing all this DSS and SSS as a security agency, I guess the should rather be called BSS from today(Buhari Secret Service).

Like if u think this country is insane, otherwise share.
