“An attempt is being made to file a fresh charge on Tuesday so that there will be an excuse that ‘we are arraigning them in court, hence we are unable to release them’,” Mr Falana reportedly said on Channels Television Monday.
Mr Sowore was arrested in August for planning a nationwide protest he labelled ‘RevolutionNow’. The Buhari administration said the planned demonstration was a treasonable act because it was aimed at fomenting a regime change. Following Mr Sowore’s initial arraignment in September, he was granted bail by the trial judge. But the SSS, a historically repressive internal security outfit over which President Muhammadu Buhari wields absolute control, disregarded the order and filed new charges against the Sahara Reporters’ publisher.
He was finally able to meet the conditions on November 6 and the presiding judge signed a warrant for his release. The SSS acknowledged receipt of the court order and promised to comply.Several days later, however, Mr Sowore remained incarcerated, raising fresh concerns from Nigerians who accused the SSS of being adamant to continue its ruthless legacy from the military era.
Sowore may have had a good intention but his move was wrong. A presidential aspirant don't lead a protest. I fear he maybe detained for a very long time. I pity the innocent wife & kids
