A Federal High Court in Abuja, Nigeria\u2019s capital, has denied the request
\nof the Federal Government for an ex-parte order to keep convener of
\nRevolutionNow movement, Omoyele Sowore, for at least 90 days.<\/p>\n

The human rights crusader was picked up in a Lagos hotel in the early
\nhours of Saturday by operatives of the Department of State Services and
\nhas been kept in custody ever since despite growing calls for his
\nimmediate release.<\/p>\n

The President Muhammadu Buhari administration had accused Sowore of
\ncommitting a treasonable act for calling on Nigerians to pour out on the
\nstreets on August 5, 2019 to protest against his government\u2019s failure to
\nimprove the living conditions of Nigerians.<\/p>\n

Many of the protesters, who took to the streets in major cities across
\nthe country were met with harassment and arrest from security
\noperatives.<\/p>\n

In its application on Tuesday, the FG through the DSS claimed that the
\n90-day window would enable it to conclude investigations into acts of
\nterrorism it is accusing Sowore of.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
