Human Rights lawyer, Mr Femi Falana, has described as totally misleading, a statement by the Department of State Service (DSS), concerning the release of the convener of the #RevolutionNow Protest, Omoyele Sowore.
A Federal High Court had on Wednesday, November 6, ordered the release of Sowore and Bakare, following an application for their bail.
But the anti-graft agency failed to comply with the order, claiming that it was yet to receive it.
The service later confirmed on Friday that it had been served the bail order, but was yet to release the accused.
According to the Public Relations Officer of the Service, Dr Peter Afunanya, nobody turned up at the Service’s office to take delivery of Sowore.
But contrary to the claims of the DSS, Mr Falana noted that they yet again failed to release his clients to the lawyers who waited in vain in the agency’s headquarters for up to four hours on Friday.
He, thereafter, stated that two lawyers from his law firm had been directed to contact the management of the DSS for the release of their clients by 10:00 am on Saturday.
