Sowore has been standing trial on allegations brought by the Department of State Services (DSS) linked to those public statements, charges he has consistently denied.
Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) on Monday reportedly arrested human rights activist and African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, within the court premises.
The development came shortly after Justice Mohammed Umar of the Federal High Court in Abuja ordered Sowore’s remand at the Kuje Correctional Centre until Wednesday, following the earlier revocation of his bail.
Earlier in the proceedings, the court had dismissed Sowore’s application seeking the recusal of the presiding judge in his trial over comments in which he described President Bola Tinubu as a “criminal.”
SaharaReporters observed that about 10 armed DSS operatives, dressed in black, forcibly dragged Sowore out of the court premises despite protests from persons present.
