Justice Taiwo Taiwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the Department of State Service to immediately release convener of #RevolutionNow protest, Mr. Omoyele Sowore who is in its custody.

Justice Taiwo Taiwo gave the order today whilst making a decision on the case regarding the activist. The judge said the activist should be released to his lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), who is to produce him for arraignment whenever he is required.

The judge, however, said since charges had already been filed against the activist, he must deposit his passport and other travel documents to guarantee his availability for trial.
