Facts are beginning to emerge on the real reason why the Department of State Services (DSS) is yet to release Omoyele Sowore, the convener of the #RevolutionNow protest, days after an Abuja High Court ordered his release.

On Thursday, President Muhammadu Buhari’s Personal Assistant on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, reacted to the continued detention of activist Omoyele Sowore by the Department of State Services, DSS.


Onochie who took to her Twitter handle charged Sowore’s sureties to go with the necessary documentation to the DSS office so the activist can be released as ordered by the court.


The Media aide to the President faulted the drama surrounding the continued detention of Swore, stressing that those that have been protesting at DSS Headquarters are being unduly dramatic.


“I don’t know why everything has to be a chore with those who know too much. Why can’t sureties in Sowore’s case go to do the necessary Documentation at the DSS so he can go home?


“Why all these drama? Luckily, Nigeria is no longer a joke so everyone will learn. Eventually!”


Onochie's comment is coming few hours after the spokesman of the DSS, Peter Afunnaya called on Sowore's sureties to come forward for documentation before being handed the suspect.


When Vigil360 contacted Deji Adeyanju, to find out if he was one of Sowore's sureties, since he had earlier approached the DSS for his release, he neither answered his phone nor replied the text message sent to his phone.
