Nigerian pop-star, Davido has condemned the re-arrest of Omoyele Sowore, convener of the RevolutionNow Movement, by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS).
TheNewsGuru recalls that on Thursday, the DSS had released the embattled activist — 124 days after he was arrested for “threatening public peace.”
In a new development, 24 hours after he regained freedom, the DSS stormed the federal high court in Abuja, disrupted Sowore’s trial in a move which resulted in commotion, and eventually re-arrested him, as against a subsisting court order.
Earlier today, Davido took to his Twitter page to state that “justice is slowly becoming a thing of the past” in Nigeria.
“Justice slowly becoming a thing of the past in our dear country …. a kid somewhere in Nigeria dreaming of becoming a lawyer and bettering the community would see this and start having doubts … just sad,” the Afropop star wrote.
