The Federal High Court, Abuja, on Thursday, granted leave to the Department of State Services (DSS) to detain the convener of #RevolutionNow protests, Mr Omoyele Sowore, for 45 days with effect from August 8.
Justice Taiwo Taiwo gave the order in a ruling on an application by the DSS seeking an order to detain Sowore for 90 days, pending the conclusion of its investigation.
Sowore, who was the Presidential Candidate of African Action Congress (AAC) in the February 2019 general elections, was arrested in the early hours of August 4 by the operatives of the DSS in Lagos and was moved to Abuja immediately.
