We Rejected Deal For YeleSowore To Apologise To President MBuhari While In Detention, Falana Says | Sahara Reporters Falana said he rejected the request by the delegation led by Funtua, a member of Buhari's cabal, to prevail on Sowore to... READ MORE:
Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana , has attributed memory loss as the cause of the"jejune" narrative of President Muhammadu Buhari's spokesperson, Garba Shehu, about what truly happened at a meeting, which held between the Presidency and Omoyele Sowore during the activist's detention at the Department of State Services facility.
Irked by Sowore's interview, Shehu with a rather infantile statement said,"The meeting ended well. Contrary to the posturing by Sowore, he said he was happy with a resolution proposed but that his lawyer, whoever that was, needed to come on board. The fence-mending process collapsed after the meeting of the trio with the lawyer in Lagos.”
Falana said, “Mr Garba Shehu has continued to give the highly erroneous impression that the deal struck with the captive was frustrated by his lawyer. Since Mr Shehu's memory failed him in his jejune narrative, he said that the meeting ended well and contrary to the posturing by Sowore, he said he was happy with a resolution proposed but that his lawyer, whoever that was, needed to come on board.
“I expressed my personal agony over the request because I won the legal battle wherein the Court of Appeal had upheld the fundamental right of the Nigerian people to protest against the government without police permit. Mr Shehu ought to have equally disclosed that I demanded for the unconditional release of my client from the unlawful incarceration of the State Security Service.
