BREAKING: Falana Escapes Sowore, Bakare From Court Premises As Heavily-armed DSS Operatives Chase After Them
Senior Advocate of Nigeria and lawyer to activists, Omoyele Sowore and Olawale Bakare, Mr. Fami Falana drove the duo out of the premises of the Federal High Court in Abuja with scores of heavily-armed operatives of the Department of State Services currently chasing his vehicle.
The move follows the disruption of court proceedings by DSS operatives during the commencement of trial in a case brought against the activists by the Nigerian Government on Friday morning at the Federal High Court.
The secret police had made fruitless attempts to rearrest Sowore and Bakare inside the courtroom having only released them on bail on Thursday night, Sahara Reporter had earlier reported.
The incident led to rancour and commotion inside and around the court premises with the armed operatives preventing Sowore and team from leaving the place.
However, after several minutes of tension, Falana drove the two men in his car out of the court premises with DSS operatives in several vehicles giving them a hot chase behind.\
Earlier, Falana later met with Justice Ojukwu and DSS’ lawyer, Hassan Liman, in a bid to resolve the matter.
The judge adjourned the case to 11, 12 and 13 of February 2020 for further hearing.
Sowore sustained bruises all over his body in the course of being rough-handled by DSS operatives inside the court.
