In documents filed on his behalf by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria FEMI FALANA, SOWORE contended that the DSS was not one of the law enforcement agencies recognised and listed in Section forty of the Terrorism Prevention Act as amended.
SOWORE stated that the fact that the SSS and DSS were used interchangeably in the country has not conferred legal status on the Service.
According to him, the motion ex parte for his arrest was filed by the SSS and not DSS and as far as the law is concerned, the SSS has no power to substitute itself for the DSS.
