Operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, on Friday stormed the Federal High Court in Abuja, to re-arrest the convener of the Revolution Now, a protest against the present government, Omoyele Sowore.
The action of the operatives came barely a few hours after it complied with the order of the court to have Sowore released, having met the bail conditions over the case of treasonable felony against him.
Sowore who was released on Thursday was however in court on Friday for a fundamental rights enforcement hearing in the trial over the non-compliance of DSS with court orders.
The action of the DSS was said to have resulted in pandemonium as court officials and others fled the scene.
It is not known why the operatives came to re-arrest Sowore again shortly after his release.
Sowore was arrested in August following the plan to carry out a protest titled Revolution Now.
The protest was frustrated as security men barricaded the venue of the protest, National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos.
After several weeks in detention, Sowore who was charged for treasonable felony among other crimes, was granted bail by the court.
The court ordered the DSS to release him, having met his bail conditions.
The order was to no avail however until Thursday when the court gave the DSS within 24 hours to carry out the order.
