Malam Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, said Sowore was detained and later released on bail today by the Department of State Service not due to his work as a journalist but because he called for a revolution to overthrow the democratically elected government of Nigeria.The presidential aide, therefore, frowned at those describing his release as that of a journalist.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the Buhari administration has never, since coming into office in 2015, detained a journalist, seized copies of newspapers or shut down a medium of information. Also, the presidential aide disclosed that Federal Government may appeal against the court judgments that granted bails to the former National Security Adviser, retired Col. Sambo Dasuki and Convener of #RevolutionNow, Omoyele Sowore.
“Not withstanding the right of the government which are very clear to it under the constitution of Nigeria to appeal this order for their release, to the Court of Appeal in fact to follow the entire judicial process leading up to the Supreme Court.
Old illiterate man,taxi driver would suit u.
Mumu ppl, wat re dey appealing? Stupidity will never end in this govt. U held someone for 4yrs n now U want to appeal his release who beg una to release him
Malam Shehu Garba, please give it a rest and allow us to enjoy our Christmas. You have been fingered as a nuisance in Aso Rock.
