The Department of State Services (DSS) has confirmed receiving the court order on the release of Omoyele Sowore, convener of the #RevolutionNow movement on Friday, The Drum Online learnt.
The DSS in a statement on Friday said it has “received the court order” asking it to release the convener of #RevolutionNow, Mr. Omoyele Sowore.
In a statement on Friday, Peter Afunanya, spokesman of the DSS, said, “The DSS wishes to confirm that it has received the court order for the release of Omoyele Sowore.
“It is important that the public notes that since the receipt of the Order, no person has turned up at the DSS to take delivery of him.
“This becomes imperative for reasons of accountability.
“However, the Court has been properly briefed on this development and the steps being taken to ensure compliance with its order.
“The Service, under the leadership of Yusuf Magaji Bichi (fwc), as the Director General, is not a lawless organization and will never obstruct justice or disobey Court Orders.
“It, therefore, affirms that it will do all that is needful once the appropriate processes have been concluded.”
