Shehu had while responding to a Facebook post by Sowore, claimed that the activist gave a different picture of what happened during the meeting with Funtua and others in Abuja, threatening to have the DSS release video of the event to set the records straight.He went ahead to say that another meeting with Sowore's lawyer in Lagos by the delegation, led to the collapse of the deal out in place to get the activist out of detention at the time.
“Mr Shehu ought to have published the terms of the"resolution" which he claimed that Sowore had accepted instead of of blaming the collapse of the"fence-mending process" on the intransigence of his lawyer"whoever that was ". “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.
