Human rights lawyer, Femi Falan has refused to leave the headquarters of the Department of State Services in Abuja over the agency's refusal to release Omoyele Sowore following a court order and fulfillment of his bail condition.

 

According to SaharaReporters, the human rights lawyer insisted that he and his team would stay put until the DSS releases Sowore to him as ordered by the court and having perfected the bail condition.

 

He said that as long as his client was being held, he would not leave the premises of the DSS.

 

Justice Taiwo Taiwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja had on Tuesday ordered the DSS to release Sowore on bail.

 

However, many Nigerians had expressed doubt on the DSS and President Muhammadu Buhari's administration to obey the court order especially following the regime's penchant for disobeying court orders.
