You would recall that Sowore’s legal team led by FEMI FALANA, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, had expressed shock yesterday over DSS’ claim that it had not been served with the order issued by Justice TAIWO TAIWO of the Federal High Court in Abuja granting bail to SOWORE, as, according to FALANA, one AYUBA ADAM of the Legal Department of the DSS had received the court order on behalf of the agency on Tuesday, September 24, 2019.
According to reports, the bailiff arrived the DSS headquarters in Abuja, where he SOWORE had been held since August 3, 2019, around 9.30 a.m. today, but was asked to return by 12 noon when the Director-General of DSS, YUSUF BICHI, would be around.
One of Sowore’s lawyer, SAM OGALA, who was at the main gate of the DSS office during the bailiff’s attempt to serve the security agency, confirming the development to newsmen said the bailiff returned to the DSS headquarters later at 12.14 p.m, but was also denied access.
SOWORE’s legal team has in the meantime commenced a contempt suit against the DSS boss for failing to comply with the court order for SOWORE’s release.
