Former Minister of Aviation Femi Fani-Kayode has described the rearrest of activist and journalist, Omoyele Sowore, by operatives of the DSS as a disgrace.
Naija News reports that the Department of State Services (DSS) on on Friday invaded the Federal High Court, Abuja, and re-arrested Sowore.
This happened barely 24-hours after granting the former presidential candidate bail.
Before the invasion, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu had adjourned the case brought against Sowore by the DSS and the Office of the Attorney General till February 11, 12 and 13, 2020, for definite hearing.
Reacting to the development on his Twitter handle, Fani-Kayode condemned the forceful rearrest of the activist after the court had granted him bail.
He accused the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari of having no respect for the constitution and judiciary.
Fani-Kayode wrote: “What was done Yele Sowore is a disgrace and outrage! You fight and brutalize a man that has been granted bail by a court of law and you do it right there on the court that granted him bail .
“You drag him all over the floor and you forcefully take him back into detention! Shame on you.
“You have no respect for the constitution, No respect for the courts, no respect for judges, no respect for the rights of Nigerian citizen, no respect for decency, no respect for humanity and no respect for God. Buhari fear God and know that you will not be in power forever.
“The worst aspect of all this is that they did it right in front of the television cameras. If they can do this to him in front of television cameras only God knows what they can do to him behind closed doors!”
