The Department of State Services says it has noted public concerns following events at the Federal High Court in Abuja on June 22 2026, which led to the remand of Omoyele Sowore in Kuje Prison.
Viral videos had shown tension between the agency’s operatives and Sowore’s loyalists and supporters after Monday’s court order.
Sowore will remain in custody until Wednesday, June 24, 2026, when legal proceedings are scheduled to resume, PUNCH had earlier reported.
“The Department of State Services (DSS) has noted concerns of some citizens over events at a Federal High Court in Abuja on 22nd June 2026, leading to the remand of Omoyele Sowore in Kuje Prison,” the agency’s Deputy Director, Public Relations and Strategic Communications, Favour Dozie said in a statement on Tuesday.
