Hope that detained convener of #RevolutionNow protest, Omoyele Sowore, would regain freedom before Christmas was on Monday dashed following the refusal of Justice Ahmed Mohammed to take his motion challenging his continued detention by the Department of State Service .
On December 17, shortly after the suit was mentioned, trial judge, Justice Inyang Ekwo ordered service of court process on the defendants and adjourned to December 23 for hearing of the motion. Sowore was rearrested on December 6, within the premises of the Federal High Court Abuja, by operatives of the DSS, barely few hours after he regained freedom from a four month detention by the same DSS and is still in custody as at the time of filing this report.
Justice Mohammed held that irrespective of where justice would go at the end of the day, he would be accused of bias, adding that the best thing is for him to return the case file to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court for re-assignment to another judge.Responding, Sowore’s lawyer, Chief Femi Falana SAN, consented with the view of the judge to step aside from hearing the matter.
In a three-paragraph affidavit in support of the motion exparte, the applicant prayed the court for an order for the production of the applicant for an unconditional release in pursuant of the release order made by the court on November 6.
