Omoyele Sowore, convener of RevolitionNow Movement, on
Friday disclosed that operatives of the Department of State
Services, DSS, vowed that he won’t walk out of detention
alive.
Sowore made the disclosure while DSS operatives
attempted to re-arrest him in the courtroom of an AbujaFederal High Court.
He stated that the threat was issued following his refusal to
compromise.
According to Sowore: “Nigerians should know that I’m not
going to give up until every Nigerian benefit from a country
that is theirs.
“They tried to break me in prison, sent delegations to me
offering all kinds of things and I refused. They promised that
I would not walk out of their detention alive and that is what
they came here to implement today.
“Nobody in Nigeria should be afraid, this is our country and
some people have to make the sacrifice for it to be a place
of rule, law, and justice.”
Operatives of the secret police had invaded the courtroom
in an attempt to pick him up but were prevented by those
around.
This is coming less than a day after he was released by the
DSS after an Abuja Federal High Court ordered for his
release within 24 hours.
Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu also ordered the DSS to pay the sum
of N100,000 to Sowore, for refusing to release him on bail
despite two court orders to that effect.
The judge consequently adjourned the trial of the case
brought against them by the Nigerian Government until
December 6 for continuation.
