Sahara Reporters publisher, Omoyele Sowore, and his co- detainee, Adebayo Bakare , on Tuesday , described the Federal Government’ s application for their transfer from the custody of the Department of State Service to prison as frivolous , vexatious and unarguable.
They said the fresh application filed by the government before Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu of the Federal High Court in Abuja was meant to frustrate the court’s order for their release from DSS custody .
They also described the application filed on behalf of the Federal Government by the prosecuting counsel, Hassan Liman ( SAN) , as contemptuous for being a contravention of the order directing the DSS to release them from custody .
This is contained in their notice of preliminary objection filed before the court to challenge the Federal Government ’s fresh application .
Sowore and Bakare are being prosecuted before the court by the Federal Government on charges of treasonable felony instituted against them in the wake of their call for # RevolutionNow protests across the country to demand better governance.
The DSS continues to hold them in custody since August when they were arrested, despite separate court orders directing their release from custody .
The latest of the court orders was the one issued by Justice Ojukwu on meeting the bail conditions imposed on them after their arraignment.
They argued, through their legal team led by Mr . Femi Falana (SAN) , that the application for their transfer from the DSS custody to prison, showed that there was no genuine interest to prosecute them.
Grounds of the application read, “ The application was filed by the Complainant/ Applicant to frustrate the execution of the order of release of the 1st and 2nd defendants /objectors from the custody of the State Security Service made by this Honourable Court on November 6, 2019.
“ There is no genuine intention to prosecute the 1st and 2nd defendants by the complainant /applicant as the statement of witnesses this Honourable Court ordered to be availed the defence team is yet to be issued and served .
“ The grounds upon which the complainant’s / applicant’ s application is hinged are frivolous, vexatious, contemptuous , manifestly unarguable and unknown to law. ”

The government accused him of treason and felony because he allegedly held subversive meetings and organised a revolution protest against the government... The truth is as a contestant in the last election he should not have used the word Revolution .Protest only is enough.However the court will decide if he is guilty or not.In my opinion the government believes he is a threat to peace of Nigeria considering his conduct in detention and even when he was brought to Court. The government is hiding under section 258 of the constitution that anybody who is a threat to the country's peace can be detained for a long time.It is believed that with this development such an act will be discouraged.

People like you make believing in the Nigerian project a shitty exercise. By this your feeble conclusion you mean Nigeria is owned between Jonathan and Buhari.

Jonathan was bad, Buhari is worse. Let's keep changing them until we get what we want.

Activists don't choose which leader to criticize and which to hail... They're the one that put governments in check.

This is not Karma, it's witch hunt, it's intolerance.

You are extremely stupid


Illiteracy is a disease...even the judge knows that nobody can be granted bail under treasonable felony. In such case you will be kept under a private facility n not prison. Ask ojukwu to tell u the story. Buhari is a generous man for him to tell the court to allow sowore to regain sanity among other prisoners. He is suppose to be kept in a dungeon because he is a threat to African democracy our fathers fought for.

He tried to instigate an uprising in the country.

You sir would not have tolerated such an act if you were president of the country, no president in the world would stand for it!

Treason is the charge. He is alleged to have been planning a revolution aimed at bringing down a democratically elected government.

He used the term "Revolution" against a dictatorial government. Beyond elections, their are other ingredients that make up a democracy which the current government is lacking. Cameroon, Uganda and Zimbabwe have textbook definition of democracy. But have you noticed how one man ran the show for decades? Even the US that exports democracy, their criteria is not a clearcut majority wins--they still have the electoral college loophole that threw up Trump even though he did not score the majority of the votes.

Sowore should know that trouble is easy to get into but difficult to get out of. The ease with which he will be abandoned by his enablers should serve as a lesson to others.

court granted someone bail and you didn't obey, now you want the same court to transfer him to prison again. Let's wait for the court so we can know how far our insanity has matured in this zoo of a country.
