Sowore’s Supporters Clash with DSS at Abuja Court to Demand Unhindered Hearing

On Tuesday, activists and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore’s backers gathered at the Federal High Court in Abuja. They chanted “Free Sowore now!” to protest alleged attempts by prison officials to block his court appearance. Supporters claimed prison authorities nearly prevented Sowore from attending, risking the revocation of his bail. A tense standoff ensued when they surged toward DSS operatives stationed at the court, a scene captured in videos shared online. Despite heavy security, proceedings continued as Sowore took his seat for the hearing. The DSS and prison service have yet to respond to the allegations. The incident has ignited widespread debate on social media about due process and security overreach.
