Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana has alleged that the Federal Government had applied to the FCT High Court for an order to transfer his clients who were arrested for their call for the #RevolutionNow protest from the custody of the DSS to prison.
Â
The #RevolutionNow protest convener, Omoyele Sowore, and his co-detainee, Adebayo Bakare, have been in the custody of the DSS since August despite the orders of the Federal High Court in Abuja for their release.
Â
Falana, in a letter dated December 1, 2019 and addressed to the Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, asked him to direct the DSS to release his clients.
Â
He urged Malami to ensure compliance with court orders in the country the same way the federal government complied with that of the British courts on the P&ID case.
