Nigeria's Secret Police Disobey Abuja Court Order To Immediately Release 5 BuhariMustGo Activists | Sahara Reporters
Though a Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday ordered the Department of State Services to release five #BuhariMustGo activists, including a blind saxophonist, arrested at the Dunamis International Gospel Centre in Abuja, the secret police have refused to heed the court order.
The activists were arrested, detained, and assaulted for wearing #BuhariMustGo T-shirts to the church. But Justice A. I. Chikere of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday ordered the DSS to immediately release the five activists namely: Ben Mannaseh, Emmanuel Larry, Victor Udoka Anene, a blind Saxophonist, Samuel Gabriel Iwatonaiye, and Henry Nwodo from custody. A source on Tuesday told SaharaReporters that, to frustrate the activists' suit at the Federal High Court, the DSS took them to a Magistrate's Court.
SaharaReporters, however, learnt that the magistrate refused to arraign them on any charge without legal representation for the activists.
