Lawyers chide SSS over Sowore - Premium Times Nigeria

Some Nigerian lawyers on Thursday condemned the continued detention of the publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, after a court on Tuesday ordered his immediate release.

Mr Sowore’s lawyers left the SSS office over 12 hours after fulfilling their end of the September 24 decision of the court, without the SSS doing the same.Speaking with PREMIUM TIMES on Thursday in a telephone interview, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Simon Ameh, said the SSS should release him immediately since the court has ordered.

He said the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015 did not make any room for one “to detain and keep people in such cruel manners until they are arraigned, they should be left to go.”Mr Ejeh said the judiciary needs to take desperate measures and as such find a way of harmonising court orders.“The problem is not the executive alone, the judiciary is an independent body and they need to rise to the situation and say no to this impunity.
