Former minister of education, Oby Ezekwesili has reacted to the continued detention of Sahara Reporters publisher, Omoyele Sowore.
Sowore remains in detention of the Department for State Security, DSS, despite meeting the bail conditions given by a Federal High Court which ordered his release.
Reacting to the disobedience of the court order by the DSS, Ezekwesili tweeted:
”Why is @YeleSowore still detained by DSS under the supervision of the Presidency @NGRPresident@MBuhari ? Is there a reason given for this apparent disobedience of court order after Yele’s lawyers fulfilled the condition laid down by Justice Taiwo Taiwo for his release? WHY???
”It is unjustifiable for the @NGRPresident@MBuhari -led #AsoRock@NigeriaGov to habitually disregard orders of the court. Such flagrant disregard for the Judiciary does not bode well for our Constitutional Democracy. I join my Voice with Citizens & ask DSS to #ReleaseSoworeNOW!
