Nigerians have taken to social media to condemn the re-arrest of Omoyele Sowore on Friday by the operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, less than 24 hours after he was released.
Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu had earlier ordered the SSS to release Sowore within 24 hours and also pay him N100,000 for improper legal conduct. The SSS then released Mr Sowore only for him and his co-defendant to be re-arrested.
Reacting to the incident, many Nigerians took to their social media platforms tothe Vice President of Nigeria, who is a Professor of Law and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria for not speaking interfering.

When SSS attempted to break into the National Assembly, Acting President Osinbajo fired its director-general within a few hours.
Today, SSS actually broke into a federal courtroom with guns, traumatising judges and citizens.
Sowore's case has finally boxed President Buhari in. https://t.co/wOG336Gp0G

I’m starting to think that if Osinbajo threatens to resign, he might get the Sowore treatment.
Anyway, Tinubu would rather be a slave than let his puppet take a stand.
