A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, has threatened to jail the Director General of the Department of State Services, DSS, Yusuf Bichi, over his refusal to release convener of the #RevolutionNow Movement, Omoyele Sowore and Olawale Bakare, an activist.

The judge, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, gave the warning after she had previously issued a notice of consequences of disobedience of court order, also known as form 48 on the DSS.

The DSS arrested Sowore on August 3, and he has been in their custody in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, since then, despite being granted bail twice.

The activist and his co-defendant are standing trial on seven counts, including accusation of planning to topple a democratically-elected government in the country.
