The co-convener of the Bring Back Our Girl Movement, BBOG, Oby Ezekwesili, has condemned the re-arrest of Omoyele Sowore.

Recall that the Department of Secret Service had on Friday chased out lawyers from the courtroom and thereafter re-arrested Sowore.

The presiding judge, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, following the drama in the court adjourned the matter till February 11, 12 and 13 for definite hearing.

The convener of the Revolution Now movement was re-arrested a few hours after he was released by the DSS after an Abuja Federal High Court ordered for his release within 24 hours.

Ezekwesilli who took to her Twitter account to react wrote, “President @MBuhari, the whole world is watching the video of officials of the State Security Service which you directly supervise, brutally violate the constitutional rights of a citizen @YeleSowore inside a court and desecrated our Judiciary- an independent arm of government.”

“I urge my fellow citizens who are reasonable enough to know that today’s episode amounts to full aggression against the Judiciary by the Executive arm of @MBuhari and portends an extremely dangerous development. We must all stand to defend our hard-won Democracy. We must.”
