Human rights activist and presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, is at the Federal High Court on Wednesday morning amid heavy presence of operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS), who are fully armed and prevented lawyers, supporters and associates of the activist from entering the courtroom.
SaharaReporters observed that DSS operatives, wielding sophisticated weapons, mounted a heavy security presence around the courtroom and blocked access to several individuals who had come to witness the proceedings involving Sowore.
The operatives were seen intimidating supporters and restricting movement around the court premises as tension heightened during the hearing.
Among those stopped from entering the courtroom was the National Secretary of the African Action Congress (AAC), Oshiok Philip, who confronted the DSS operatives over what he described as an unconstitutional action.
