Mr Falana condemned the statement by the presidency justifying Mr Sowore's treatment by the SSS.

The Federal Government has been cautioned to stop its “media trial” of the detained publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore.Mr Falana said it was ‘embarrassing’ that the federal government could hardly prove its case in the court against his client and yet resorted to trying Mr Sowore in the media.

While he maintained he would not join the president’s media aide in the battle of words over ‘highly contemptuous statements,’ he expressed surprise at the presidency’s attempt to dent his client’s image in the media. Justice Taiwo Taiwo of the Federal High Court ordered the SSS to investigate the allegation while detaining Mr Sowore for 45 days , Mr Falana said.

They were only released last Thursday night after Mrs Ojukwu gave the SSS 24 hours to release both men.9th December, 2019When Mr. Omoyele Sowore was arrested on August 2, 2019 the State Security Service accused him of engaging in terrorist activities. On the basis of the allegation the SSS obtained an order from the Honourable Justice Taiwo Taiwo of the Federal High Court to detain Sowore for 45 days in order to investigate his alleged terrorist activities.

Sowore: Falana demands apology from Buhari’s media aidesNobody is apologizing to you mr. make a statement and smile creepily aka Falana. Your client called for a revolution against the government and they are now making him pay. The song, I fought the law and the law won comes to mind. Sowore brought this on himself. Enjoy! All PMB's media aides are arrogant. Take that for free. They will never apologise. Unfortunately for them they only have a little above 3yrs in office. Mark my words, Sowore's travails will be someone's perils tomorrow. Let's keep watching... I'm sorry sir, it's unlikely you'll get one. A heartfelt apology isn't really part of our political culture.
