The Department of State Service
(DSS) has filed an application before a federal high court in Abuja, seeking to
detain Omoyele Sowore, convener of the #RevolutionNow movement, for 90 days.
In an ex parte motion with
number: FHC/ABJ/CS/915/19, G. O Agbadua, counsel to the DSS, told the court
that the secret police needed the period to investigate Sowore.
Agbadua told Taiwo Taiwo, the
judge, that a video clip evidence was attached to the application.
He urged the judge to grant the
application to detain the activist beyond 48 hours as required by the law.
DSS operatives had arrested
Sowore in Lagos in the early hours of Saturday, two days to a nationwide
protest he was organising.
He was later moved to Abuja while
his supporters were denied access to him until Monday.
