Breaking: Finally, DSS Releases Sowore

The Department of State Services (DSS) has released the publisher of Sahara Reporters and convener of #RevolutionNow protests, Omoyele Sowore.

This comes hours after the Federal Government ordered the DSS to release the activist, as well as the former National Security Adviser (NSA), Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd).

After regaining his freedom, Sowore was escorted out of DSS Headquarters by Mr. Abubakar Marshal, a lawyer from the chambers of Femi Falana.

As he departed from the DSS office, the activist chanted ‘revolution now and forever’, and wished Nigerians a Merry Christmas.

His media outfit, Sahara Reporters, also confirmed the news via its verified Twitter handle @SaharaReporters a few seconds ago with the tweet:

“He was released on Tuesday evening following an order to the Department of State Services by Nigeria’s Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), for his freedom.”
