BREAKING: Lawless Department Of State Services Finally Bows To Pressure, Releases 5 BuhariMustGo Activists Arrested At DunamisGospel Church | Sahara Reporters
The five activists arrested at the Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Abuja and detained by the Department of State Services have finally regained their freedom.
Their lawyer, Tope Tomekun, filed the suit on their behalf at a Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday. They also asked the court to award N10 million each in damages for the violation of their fundamental human rights. Form 48, otherwise known as contempt of court sighted by SaharaReporters, is titled, “Notice of Consequences of Disobedience to Order of Court.”
Brought before the magistrate for arraignment on Wednesday, the defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges. Ruling, the magistrate, Mohammed Zubairu, granted bail to the defendants in the sum of N500,000 with a surety each but the DSS operatives hurriedly drove the activists away before before they could perfect the bail conditions.
