BREAKING: DSS finally succumb, releases Sowore from  custody

Sahara reporters publisher Omoyele Sowore was released from detention late Thursday afternoon after spending more than 100 days in DSS custody.

Recall that DSS has defiantly refused to release Sowere after two Judges had ordered for his bail.

According to Nation Newspaper, Inibehe Effiong, one of the legal practitioners of the defendants confirmed this to them via telephone conversation this evening.

“I can confirm that both Sowore and Bakare have been released and are now out of the DSS facility at the moment as ordered by the court.

“We will be going back to court tomorrow on the compliance to the court’s.  We are hoping the compliance is total and definite”, he added.

The development followed today’s court ruling by Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu of the Federal High Court, Abuja for  their release within the next 24 hours.

Sowore, also the online publisher of Sahara Reporters has been kept  in detention since August 3.
