The Department of State Services (DSS) has confirmed receiving the court order on the release of Omoyele Sowore, convener of the Revolution Now movement.

Sowore was arrested in Lagos on August 3 and later flown to Abuja where he is being detained.

A federal high court in Abuja had granted him bail but after fulfilling the conditions of the bail, the secret police did not allow him leave its custody.

This sparked a nationwide outrage, with Femi Falana, his lawyer, threatening to sue the DSS.

In a statement on Friday, Peter Afunanya, spokesman of the DSS, said while the agency has received the order, no one has visited the DSS to take delivery of the activist.

“The DSS wishes to confirm that it has received the court order for the release of Omoyele Sowore,” the statement read.

“It is important that the public notes that since the receipt of the Order, no person has turned up at the DSS to take delivery of him. This becomes imperative for reasons of ability.

“However, the Court has been properly briefed on this development and the steps being taken to ensure compliance with its Order.

“The Service, under the leadership of Yusuf Magaji Bichi (fwc), as the Director General, is not a lawless organization and will never obstruct justice or disobey Court Orders. It, therefore, affirms that it will do all that is needful once you the appropriate processes have been concluded.”

Where is FFK, its time to help his fellow lousy mouth out of a difficult situation.

Nonsense. Is he sick to go home? Or can't he recognise the route to his house?

Simply for u to release someone to go home, u are claiming he must have somebody take him.

I no talk anything o.

I weep for my country, Nigeria.

The present government's disrespect for the rule of law has made Nigeria an object of laughter to the rest of the world.

We need a Messiah fast!

DSS don turn hotel now, they want to accommodate him so he would not be kidnapped.

Foolish DSS

Is he a baby? Must anyone show up before you can release him?

Sowore omoyele is not a Yoruba man, he will rot in jail.

lies lies.

So all the people shouting TAKE IT BACK actually meant TAKE HIM BACK?

You guys do realize someone needs to actually bail him out. Don’t you? They received a court order for his release. But no one is willing to stand surety. You lot should have taken time to read and understand before you comment na.

Stylishly and sluggishly still wants him to remain in the custody till tuesday as per Monday being public holiday.

This is preposterous. Absurdity in the highest of heights.

Another lies.

I think they're should be a punishment for this

Is Sowore a baby? Free him and let him find his way.



I think this just another stupid strategy to keep him till Monday.



Bunch of unintelligent liars

Continue deceiving yourself. This can even turn to more blessing for sowore, let him stay their till Monday when it's ers would be mobilized to come and receive him with FUNFARE that will shame DSS.

Woe betide u and buari there

This is ridiculous from a government agency..
Is it compulsory for some one to wait for him after meeting the conditions for bail?

He can call uber or pick a taxi.. or even trek if he so wish.

Hmmm

Is he is a minor that needs an adult to come pick him up?

Release the man, he is man enough to find his way home.

Can't he find his way out on his own?. DSS and drama

Once he's released, he should just go back to his country and enjoy his life.
