The Department of State Services (DSS) has sought the leave of the Federal High Court, Abuja to detain the convener of #RevolutionNow, Mr. Omoyele Sowore for 90 days pending the conclusion of investigation.
The request formed the main relief in an ex-parte application filed by the DSS, FHC/ABJ/CS/ 915/19, which was argued on Tuesday by its lawyer, G. O. Agbadua.
After listening to Agbadua’s argument, Justice Taiwo Taiwo adjourned until Thursday for ruling.
Justice Taiwo said he needed time to examine the exhibits filed along with the application, which include two copies of digital video disks (DVD), before he could form his opinion on the issue.
It would be recalled that operatives of the DSS arrested Sowore in the early hours of Saturday in Lagos.
It said the presidential candidate of African Action Congress (AAC) in the February 23, 2019 election was arrested on account of the #RevolutionNow protest which he had spearheaded.
The secret police subsequently moved Sowore to Abuja where he is currently detained in its facility.
