Omoyele Sowore has protested against DSS refusal to set him free despite court ordering his immediate release.

According to Sahara Reporters, Sowore was granted bail twice by the federal high court in Abuja during his 98 days detainment.

Sowore’s lawyer, Femi Falana, on Friday said, “Since yesterday (Thursday) he has refused to come down. He has refused to see anybody and this is in protest that his rights are being violated.

“He has not eaten because the DSS don’t feed him and he is rejecting food from the people who usually take food to him in detention.

“Yesterday, he said he didn’t want to see anyone including the people who take food to him because there is a court order asking for him to be released, the second one, so he is protesting this.”
