Timi Frank, former deputy national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress, has demanded the immediate release of activist and presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore.
Frank in a statement on Tuesday, described the arrest of Sowore by the Department of State Services, DSS, as a national disgrace and a dangerous assault on democracy.
Recall that a Federal High Court in Abuja ordered his remand at Kuje Correctional Center pending the hearing of his application challenging the revocation of his bail.
Justice Mohammed Umar dismissed Sowore’s motion seeking the judge’s recusal over alleged bias and adjourned the motion for stay of execution till June 24.
Reacting, Frank said that Sowore had committed no offense warranting arrest or detention.
He alleged that the arrest was politically motivated and part of a broader agenda by the federal government to intimidate opposition figures and others against President Bola Ahmed
