The convener of #revolutionnow protest and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has filed a contempt suit against the Director-General of the Department of State Service, (DSS) Yusuf Bichi, for allegedly disobeying a court order granting him bail.
The legal team of Mr. Sowore led by Mr. Femi Falana also filed an affidavit of compliance with the order of the court and had the same served on the DSS.
Justice Taiwo Taiwo of the federal high court in Abuja had on Tuesday granted bail to Mr. Sowore, who was arrested and detained by the DSS since August 3, 2019, on the allegation of calling for a “revolution” through the protest that was scheduled for September 5.
Ruling on the bail application filed by Mr. Sowore, the judge had dismissed DSS’ objection in granting him bail with the sole condition that he deposits his passport in the registry of the court, a condition which has been fulfilled since Wednesday, September 25, 2019.
