Detained activist Omoyele Sowore has applied to the Federal High Court in Abuja to set aside its order permitting the Department of State Services to detain him for 45 days.
The convener of #RevolutionNow protest, through his lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana, SAN, contended, among others in the 19-ground application, that the order issued by the court breached his constitutionally guaranteed fundamental rights.
He added that the order of court amounted to “legalising the illegality” of his detention for about four days prior to the issuance of the court order on Thursday.
Filed along with his application on Friday was an affidavit of urgency seeking an urgent hearing of the suit
