Sowore Regains Freedom After 127days In Detention

The State Security Service (SSS) on Thursday night released Omoyele Sowore, publisher of Sahara Reporters and convener of Revolution Now Movement.

Mr Sowore was arrested on August 3 for planning a series of protests to demand good governance.

Mr Sowore first met his bail on November 6, one month ago, but he was not released. A federal judge, on Thursday morning, gave 24 hours for Mr Sowore to be released.

His co- detainee Adebayo Bakare was also released alongside.

This was confirmed by lead counsel to Sowore, Femi Falana (SAN). Femi Falana, while confirming the development to news men , said the SSS also paid N100,000 fine to Mr Sowore as ordered by the judge.
