DSS Arraigns Sowore In Court

The Department of State Services (DSS) on Monday, brought Omoyele Sowore to a federal high court sitting in Abuja, the nation’s capital.

Naija News understands the DSS operatives brought Sowore in through the backdoor.

Some supporters of Sowore who had waited outside the court premises to catch a glimpse of the activists were therefore unable to see his face.

Naija News recalls that the Federal Government had filed charges bordering on treasonable felony and money laundering against the publisher of SaharaReporters.

Sowore, who was also the presidential candidate of African Action Congress (AAC), is charged alongside Olawale Bakare, also known as Mandate, in a seven-count charge filed by the office of the Attorney General of the Federation.

The Department of State Services (DSS), who are currently detaining Sowore, had claimed that the publisher of SaharaReporters was involved in acts of terrorism and plotted to topple the government; allegations he has since denied.

Sowore and Bakare are expected to be arraigned before Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu.
