There was pandemonium at the Abuja Federal High Court on
Monday when heavily armed operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS,
dragged the African Action Congress, AAC, presidential candidate, Omoyele
Sowore, into custody following a remand order.
This took place shortly after Justice Mohammed Umar ordered
that Sowore be remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre until Wednesday.
In a video footage sighted by DAILY POST from the courtroom,
fully kitted DSS operatives took control of the activist.
The development followed the judge’s decision to revoke
Sowore’s bail, a ruling tied to allegations brought by the DSS regarding public
statements where Sowore reportedly referred to President Bola Tinubu as a
criminal.
Recall that earlier in the session, Justice Umar
dismissed an application in which the activist asked the judge to step down
from the case.
The defense had argued that the single court absence used to
justify the bail revocation was actually due to Sowore consulting with his new
lead counsel, Olumide-Fusika, SAN, who had formally briefed the court on the
matter.
