Armed operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS), have finally re-arrested Omoyele Sowore, Convener, #RevolutionNow protest, and his co-defendant, Olawale Bakare, after chasing judge out of the courtroom with gun.
The drama stared shortly after Justice Ijoema Ojukwu adjourned the trial continuation till Feb. 11, 12 and 13 for definite hearing.
Sowore has been taken to the headquarters of the DSS.
Justice Ojukwu had, on Thursday, ordered the DSS to release Sowore and Bakare within 24 hours.
Ojukwu, who gave the order, also awarded a N100, 000 fine against the DSS over its delay to serve the defence counsel with the additional proof of evidence in the ongoing trial despite the court’s order to the effect.
