Sowore's rearrest in court is an attack on our freedom, Nigerians react

Nigerians have expressed outrage at the action of the Department of State Services as its operatives who rearrested Omoyele Sowore, the convener of #RevolutionNow protest at the federal high court, Abuja, on Friday.

They expressed that DSS’s disregard for the courtroom and the rule of law, its attack on Sowore today is an attack on the freedom of Nigerians.

See some reactions below.

What we all need to realize is that this isn’t just Sowore’s business. This isn’t just his freedom at risk.

This is all of our freedom(s) at risk here. We’re staring down a horrid road lined with this kind of occurrences and the social media bill to make sure we don’t complain.

You are not safe in Nigeria. All our institutions are in the full control of the executive. You are not safe. If someone like Sowore who is in the public eye, runs a media house and is being represented by THE Femi Falana can be treated this way, YOU ARE NOT SAFE. GET OUT! https://t.co/jrJ7mh8tjZ

This is simply CRAZY!!!
So the DSS just chased a judge out of the courtroom with guns in an attempt to re-arrest Sowore … this has to be the lowest low of this Government …
We should be more outraged as Nigerians…it’s long past the time we kept quiet about this!! pic.twitter.com/1RSO9HDtqC
