The Department of State Services (DSS) on Monday prayed the Federal High Court in Abuja to foreclose Omoyele Sowore’s defence for allegedly frustrating his ongoing trial.

The DSS counsel, Mr Akinloku Kehinde (SAN), made the application before Justice Mohammed Umar after Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika (SAN), lawyer to Sowore, sought an adjournment in the matter.

When the case was called, Olumide-Fusika informed the court that the matter was scheduled for continuation of defence.

He said he had been reliably informed that a witness was in court based on the subpoena they served on the Director General of DSS, Mr Oluwatosin Ajayi.

“Unfortunately, it will not be possible for us to proceed,” Olumide-Fusika said.
