DSS Wanted To Link Sowore To Boko Haram, IPOB, IMN, Falana Alleges

Femi Falana (SAN)

Lagos lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN) has alleged that despite the directive by the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami that the detained publisher of SaharaReporters, Omoyele Sowore be transferred to his office, the Department of State Security (DSS) today, December 13, subjected him to four-hour interrogation.

In a statement today, Falana said that the interrogation pertained to Sowore’s alleged links with the proscribed Boko Haram sect, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN).

“In spite of the directive of the AGF to take over the case the SSS subjected Sowore to a 4-hour interrogation yesterday (12/12/19). The entire interrogation pertained to Sowore’s alleged links with the proscribed Boko Haram sect, IPOB and IMN which he vehemently denied.

“At Sowore’s instance a member of the legal defence team Mr. Abubakar Marshal witnessed the marathon interrogation. The plan of the SSS is to charge Sowore with terrorism in line with the unsubstituted allegations of presidential media aides.
