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 of the Terrorism Amendment Act.Ruling on ex parte application, a one-sided request by the SSS without counter-argument by Sowore’s legal team, Justice Taiwo, said he had to grant the application, “only to the extent” of allowing the security agency to keep the respondent in custody for only 45 days for the applicant to conclude its investigation.
He said, although the hearing of the application was one-sided as provided by 27 of the Terrorism Amendment Act, the use of the word, “may”, in the provision “is directory” and not “discretionary”.He also said should the applicant require more time to conclude its investigation after the expiration of the first 45 days, it had the liberty to apply for its renewal.
Detain him on what ground and what will happen after 45days? Isn't this one of the reasons for the protest in the first instance? How can Buhari be using Police and judiciary to harrass everyone?
No freedom is absolute... Simple
Too bad
Next level noni
Calamitous
Crippled judiciary you mean.
Sowore will not go Unpunished He is worst than a Terrorist UpDSS
They said wen some group visited him that he's still on fire not shaking. I said wen d gbedu go begin enter him body he will calm down.I think this just d first step GEJ go de laugh u now
The members of the curt and the members of the government are of one party so it’s not strange but the end shall tell of all of them, they shall reap their evils
This is not Justice. Judiciary stinks
45 days to investigate what!!! The government, using detention as a weapon of silence and oppression.
Ahap, this guy go spend 4yrs for detention.
Osiaustine FACT CHECK! TYRANNY GOV'T OF DICTATOR BUHARI
Nigeria
Where are the Yoruba youths?
This does not mean I am happy he is being treated unfairly. I just want him to go back to the strategy that he used against Jonathan, starting with this Justice Taiwo and the DSS...he should do some investigative journalism to bring their skeletons to the public
Sowore was one of those whose publications damaged Jonathan and gave us a tyrant in Buhari...he must be regretting that right now...Those supporters of tyranny, sooner than later, you will be on the receiving end....
Takes a stupid judge to accept the detention of a citizen without trial for 45days. Buhari has practically killed INEC, NASS & now the judiciary. His tyranny no matter how much can not fill all Nigerians but when the entire country cooks for him, I wonder how much he can eat😔
Nigeria is Banana Republic
The Scheme is to get Atiku to make a comment or condemn this arrest. They don’t have any issues with Sowore, they know who they are looking for.
You dunno waris goin on. Take note of the Judge that passed this judgement.
Useless judiciary
This is totally rubish in our judiciary
I pity this man, you are dealing with military man in power
Nigeria 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
it's likely he might stay in jail like Dasuki if the Yoruba people do not fight for his release ~~~ MNK
MBuhari no body harrased you 2014.....FreeOmoyeleSowore
Nigerian govt arbitrarily detaining journalists proves Nigeria is a FAILING state. These short term solutions wont work.
And Nigerias are still doing what? Sit at home? What a stupid nation
I wish this will teach Nigerians a lesson. He fought for GEJ exit the same way and was not arrested, thus bringing in PMB. From frying pan to fire. This is morning
Why is it difficult for people to understand that revolution is not a tea party?
I’m not surprise because we’re living in a country where justice is pay and get, the owners of judicial just got the type of judgement they want
I’m not surprise because we’re living in a country where justice is pay and get, the owner of judicial just got the type of juggernaut they want.
Until today, I didn't bliv Buhari was controli Judiciary, 9ja is gone, We were moving forward until, Atiku, Obasanjo and other evil Nigerians conspired against Nigerians, to bring this evil Buhari upon us, cleaning this mess will be generational, God help me out this country.
We are watching
Sebi him don start wetin him no fit finish I beg na him money 💰 him Dey work for jare abi him want tell me say na Nigerians him Dey fight for
Yes 😅😅😅 that boy must not allow to go free. This judgement is so sweet 😃
A country of ghosts and dead judiciary.
Una say Jonathan dey behave like woman... 😂... Man don come Ooo... We never see anything... This next level, we will all suffer in it... This is just season 2 episode 1 we still have 3 more episodes...
Buhari is making Sowore famous...
45 days = 4.5 years The boy don enter one chance
I think just to calm down any further plan about revolution
This country called Niger Area needs help
Unionsim is still disturbing Sowore.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Legends. Enjoy your ability to repress soft urbanites for as long as it lasts. Must be a relief from all those armed criminals in the provinces.
We saw it coming, nothing is broken! oluwaloninyo ibehsamuel
He will see Ashawo his Mojo will not rise after interrogations by DSS🤣. Small picken wanted to be a hero.
'He also said should the applicant require more time to conclude its investigation after the expiration of the first 45 days, it had the liberty to apply for its renewal'- Judge Taiwo Taiwo. So, if DSS said they are not done in 45days time. They will extend it.
It's obvious that want to punish in order to stop any possible fuss he might make
No be him divide Atiku votes. ..? No be him join bring this kind government. .? Broder face ur wahala oooooo
Jonathan dey Bayelsa dey laugh
Come next Election all Nigerian youths who needs a better Nigeria for our unborn kids go sit up, and will not vote into power any civillian who once was a Military man... For these old men, the future is now, for we young people, the future is tomorrow. We need a better Nigeria
The judges are cashing in and cashing out😇😇😇
Beasts of no nation- Egbe Ke Gbe na bad society
This country is finished. If u get money I suggest u leave. How can u detain someone for 45 days without charging the person to court. Is that not a violation of his human rights. Before u arrest someone make sure all evidence are in order then charge the person to court.
Nigeria kangaroo judiciary enablers and partners in Buhari’s dictatorship
Which court? Last time it was said that he should be released unconditionally, but now it's a different case. It appears the Cabals determines what should be the outcome of any court proceedings in Nigeria and if it is not in accordance to the dictates of the presidency, noway!!
Things fall apart and the centre cannot hold. We can't exercise our rights again
Now your suffering begins. Sai baba
Nothing must sha scratch him, he must not cough let alone fall sick
The pikin wey say im mama no go sleep....,.
The whole scenario was staged... Sowore is up to a game! Who know knows...
45 days. For what reason?
Haaaaaa This is Injustice.
Lol
There's hope for him,he has falana has a lawyer & a brilliant one that,he was able to get a medical leave for zazaky after 3years in detention, this time around,maybe after 4years,e would be able to get him released.
: this is civil revolution not a bloody revolution... I know for sure buhari will not go away with this.. RevolutionNow FreeSowore FreeNigeria he wants you to fix Nigeria, Which you all have vowed never to do, because poverty is your choice weapon of control of the masses!
🤣🤣🤣 we didn’t expect less everyone of them is already been compromised and have now become a tool for bullies and tyrants
AbadaEfeJulius - Nigeria judiciary is just another Buhari's concubine
Country is dead on arrival!!! The best thing that will happen to you is to kukuma run away from the country.....just leave the country, forget about how it will get better...it will autoheal itself!!
Sowore suffery has began 🤣🤣
Hahaa...sowere ask Zakzaki he go tell u his ordeal ...Nnamdi kanu he ran for his life..🤣 Sowere ,sowere,sowere ... Na now u go know ur real supporters 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What did he do bayii 🤦♂️
It's not a surprise. We have judiciary controled by the executive.
Isn't this a conviction without trial already? Why are our courts used to muzzle human rights? So sad that Nigeria of today has a compromised judiciary!
I'm not surprised by the ruling of the Court, since it was a one sided application by the DSS. I strongly believe YeleSowore's lawyers are currently working towards it.
Justice Taiwo Taiwo held that according to section 27 subsection 1 of the terrorism prevention Act , the word ”May” used in the section is directory and it’s not absolute. It’s not absolute so why on earth did Justice Taiwo grant 45 days detention. Something doesn’t add up.
😠😡
NIGERIA MY COUNTRY
Nigerians are we going to watch and take all this trash 🗑 from the government? Revolution now is a reality
Welcome to Nigeria.
Case closed

Gullible Nigerians everywhere, they are interested in what they will get now and not the future.illiterates everywhere, all they know is sex, relationship and rubbish discussion while the country is sinking.
I learnt he had refused to eat for the past few days that he had been arrested,now that your detention period had been extended,baba you better chop,may you no go quench
For what naa?
What a country! Shameful! Embarassing! That's what u get when a honorary WAEC holder is at the helm of affairs.
One day is one day. We are watching
Anyone not happy with the judgment is free to go join Sowore in detention! 👌🏾
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Let those who are flabbergasted come on board now. To your tent o ye Israel (Sowore). So sad, I pity him!!!
When the Chief Justice is an incompetent and rubber stamp, what do u expect?
