…grants DSS request to keep him in custody for 45 days.
A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja had granted the DSS permission to detain the convener of Revolution Now protest, Omoyele Sowore, for 45 days pending the conclusion of investigations.
Justice Taiwo Taiwo, ruling on an ex parte application by the State Security Service, whose operatives arrested Sowore last Saturday, held that the detention order would be renewable after the expiration of first 45 days on September 21.
The SSS had on Tuesday applied for permission to keep Sowore for 90 days to investigate him over his call for revolution ahead of the RevolutionNow protests which held in some parts of the country on Monday.
The security agency anchored its application on the provision of section 27(1) of the Terrorism (Prevention) Amendment Act.
