Human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), on Friday, faulted the claim by the Department of State Services authorities that they were still holding the convener of #RevolutionNow protest, Mr. Omoyele Sowore, and Olawale Bakare, because none of their lawyers was available to take their delivery from custody since Thursday.
Falana, on Friday, stated that the DSS decided not to release his two clients to his lawyers who waited in vain for not less than four hours at the DSS headquarters in Abuja on Thursday.
It was confirmed that the trio of three lawyers – Stanley Imhanruor, Effiong Inihebe and Marshal Abubakar, were at the DSS office to serve the release warrants on the agency in anticipation of returning home with the two men on Thursday to no avail.
Falana said on Friday that the DSS having acknowledged the service of the warrants for his clients’ release, two lawyers from his law firm would be at the DSS office to take the two detainees home on Saturday.
