<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The Department of State Services
(DSS) has said its investigation so far revealed that “RevolutionNow” was
smokescreen for the actual intention of Omoyele Sowore, the candidate of the
African Action Congress (AAC) in the last presidential election and his allies
“to topple the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The DSS said it engaged in a
painstaking investigation of Sowore’s activities in view of the quantum of
evidence so far gathered and may return to court to seek an extension of the 45
days granted it by the Federal High Court, Abuja to detain him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The security agency made this
known in a fresh document the DSS filed at the Federal High Court on Monday in
response to an application by Sowore, challenging the court’s order, granting
the security agency 45 days to detain him pending investigation.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In the counter-affidavit deposed
to by Godwin Agbadua, an official of the DSS, it was stated that Sowore was
arrested on reasonable suspicion of having committed a capital offence, upon
his alleged involvement in terrorists’ activities.<o:p></o:p></div>
