The Department of
State Security Service, (DSS), has finally released the detained human rights activists, Omoyele Sowore and Olawale Bakare, who had
been in DSS detention for 126 days.

The duo has been earlier granted bail of 100
million naira but the DSS has defiled court orders.
However, Justice
Ijeoma Ojukwu of the Federal High Court, Abuja, has taken a swipe at the
Department of State Services for constituting itself into a parallel court and
flouting orders.
She
lambasted the DSS for asking the sureties of detained human rights activists,
Omoyele Sowore and Olawale Bakare, to come forward after she had signed a
release warrant.
Ojukwu,
who confronted DSS’ lawyer, Hassan Liman, during the commencement of trial in a
case of treason brought against the two activists by the government, said that
the court had the final say on the matter.
