Giving an update on the case in a post on X on Thursday, Sowore alleged that the DSS was withholding Chidiebere’s passport, making it impossible for him to fully comply with the court-ordered bail terms.

Human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, has accused the Department of State Services (DSS) of deliberately frustrating the release of Justice Mark Chidiebere, popularly known as “Justice Crack,” despite meeting almost all his bail conditions.

Giving an update on the case in a post on X on Thursday, Sowore alleged that the DSS was withholding Chidiebere’s passport, making it impossible for him to fully comply with the court-ordered bail terms.

“It should be noted that Justice Mark Chidiebere, aka Justice Crack, has fulfilled virtually all his bail conditions except one issue involving the deposit of his international passport,” Sowore said.

“Ironically, the passport is currently in the custody of the lawless DSS, which has refused to release it to his lawyers to enable full compliance with the bail conditions and secure his release from unjust detention,” Sowore wrote.
