The head of the State Security Service team that invaded the Abuja Federal High Court on Friday apologised to the judge, Ijeoma Ojukwu, for their action, a witness has said.
“When I informed the court that fresh charges were being filed against our clients and that they could be re-arrested, the prosecution denied any such plan. First, pretending to forget that the abominable desecration of the Federal High Court was covered live by domestic and international media outfits and journlists, some of whom were also direct victims of the gangsterism, barbarism and brutalisation displayed by officers of the Service on the 6th day of December 2019, the Service has conducted “eye witness” accounts of what transpired with the aim of showing that officers of the Service were not involved in the rearrest of Sowore.
When I informed the court that fresh charges were being filed against our clients and that they could be re-arrested, the prosecution denied any such plan. Notwithstanding that the sss could not produce any warrant of arrest for Sowore the defence team decided that I should accompany him to the sss headquarters in view of his physical brutalisation inside the court room and the open threat to his life. I did and ensured that he was driven in my car to the sss headquarters where I handed him over to the officers on duty. Thereafter, I requested for a meeting with the head of the sss but I was informed that he was not in the office.
Before submitting himself for arrest Sowore had rightly demanded for a warrant of arrest and detention order but the sss operatives were unable to produce either.In rationalizing the re-arrest of Sowore, which is denied in the same Press statement, the Serivce alleged that Sowore held metings with some people.
Fake news in circulations.always try to verify b4 commenting
The same falana that told us El zakyzaky has gone blind and would die the following day which made FG to allow the man to travel out for treatment but we later discovered the man was Hale and healthy
It's not an apology thing o. The director gats step down
SERAPNigeria KingKhalidi
Falana stop your hypocrisy. Are you speaking for DSS or they should tender the apology themselves? It is all these your double standard that sold out the judiciary to the tyrant in the first place.
10racle So if I commit crime now I will apologize abi, which side is falana?
God bless Nigeria
Verily the DSS has gone stark mad!
Fake news don start again 🤣
SERAPNigeria So SSS sent Falana to go and Apologise to Justice Ojwukwu. I no understand
SERAPNigeria Same DSS that denies invading the court had in fact apologised for it. Lying like children. Why do we even need a secret police in Nigeria in the first place?
SERAPNigeria They apologized for invading the court premises to effect his arrest not not for arresting him during the court proceedings as spread by media pedlers to misled the public.
SERAPNigeria Lolz they’re coming out to deny it. I trust them
What a shame the same DSS who claim they never invaded the court. Now apologising for invading the court. It obvious to them that they can't lair to us anymore. They quickly apologies hahaha Nonsense people. freeSoworeNow
are agents of fake news. Tufiakwa...
Until I see the video evidence, I won't believe. Falana lies a lot these days.
Awon oponu will still not believe this. Supporting a government should not stop you from condemning any bad act emanate from their action. EndImpunity endinjustice RuleOfLaw Nigerian deserve better.
Is it not funny that dss rearrest sowore for breach of bail conditions ordered by court bt same dss disobeyed the court 3 times on order to release him...so who go arrest dss...?
After Denying .. anyway its a welcome dev.....
From your report from Falana DSS now invade court premises not court room. Falana now speaking with both of his mouth. Sowore brought himself into this mess
They should keep their apologies, we the judges council of Nigeria reject the apology.
Thought they said,they didn't invade the court? So the apology shouldn't be accepted
The same court they did not invade?
good
They should apologise to the judicial counsel.
