The coalition of Civil Society groups today protested continued
detention of Omoyele Sowore by the Department of State
Services.
The protesters are seeking the release of Mister Sowore who is
accused of treason and has been in detention more than one week
after meeting his bail conditions as pronounced by the court.
But the DSS had in a press statement said that Mr Sowore is
still in its custody because no one has come to receive him.
One of the protesters, Deji Adeyanju, has alleged that he was
offered one million naira not to participate in the protest. He
made the allegation during the march at the DSS office in
Abuja.
Mr Adeyaju displayed the money which is in five hundred naira
denomination and even mentioned names of those who offered the
bribe.
There was also another allegation by a reporter with Guardian
Newspaper, Oludare Richard, of being assaulted by officials of the
Department of State Services while covering the protest.
