Supporters of Omoyele Sowore, a human rights activist and former African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, allege that operatives of Nigeria’s Department of State Services (DSS) arrested and injured him despite a court order. The claims follow a court ruling by Justice Mohammed Umar, who directs that Sowore be remanded in a correctional facility. According to the supporters, DSS operatives carried out a forceful arrest and caused injuries to Sowore, which they say contradicts the court’s order. Both reports describe the allegation as a dispute over how Sowore is held after the court decision. The articles focus on the supporters’ accusations and the existence of the remand order, without providing an independent account or a response from the DSS or other court officials. The reports also do not specify the extent of Sowore’s injuries in detail. The issue therefore centers on whether the actions attributed to DSS comply with the judicial direction regarding Sowore’s custody.
