Oby Ezekwesili, a former minister of education, has condemned the continued detention of the convener of the RevolutionNow movement, Omoyele Sowore by the State SecurityServices, SSS.
Sowore had been granted bail by a federal high court sitting in Abuja on Tuesday.
Femi Falana, the lead counsel of Sowore had confirmed that all bail conditions have been met and that Sowore has submitted his passport as demanded by Justice Taiwo Taiwo.
According to Ezekwesili in a tweet on Thursday, September 26, 2019, asked if any reason has been given for “this apparent disobedience of court order.”
Why is @YeleSowore still detained by DSS under the supervision of the Presidency @NGRPresident @MBuhari ?
Is there a reason given for this apparent disobedience of court order after Yele’s lawyers fulfilled the condition laid down by Justice Taiwo Taiwo for his release?

It is unjustifiable for the @NGRPresident @MBuhari -led #AsoRock @NigeriaGov to habitually disregard orders of the court.
Such flagrant disregard for the Judiciary does not bode well for our Constitutional Democracy.I join my Voice with Citizens & ask DSS to #ReleaseSoworeNOW!
