Activist and publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, and his co-detainee, Olawale Bakare, have filed N1bn suits before the Federal High Court in Abuja against the Director General of the Depart

ment of State Services, Yusuf Bichi and the Attorney-General of the Federation, Mr. Abubakar Malami.

They alleged that their arrest and the physical attack unleashed on them by the operatives of the DSS in Lagos and Osogbo on August 2 and 5, as well as their continued illegal detention by the security agency, constituted a violation of their rights.

While still in detention, Sowore and Bakare were charged with treasonable felony and other sundry charges. He added that despite acknowledging the service of the release orders of the court, on November 7, the DSS DG refused to comply with the order for the release of the men.
