The Department of State Services (DSS) has released Omoyele Sowore, convener of RevolutionNow Movement. Sowore was released on Tuesday evening following a directive from Abubakar Malami, minister of justice. The DSS had initially refused to release the activist who was granted bail by two different courts. Sowore was arrested by the DSS on August 3 ahead of the planned nationwide protest.
He was released temporarily after 124 days but forcefully rearrested at a federal high court in Abuja in less than 24 hours after his release
