We Are Still Investigating Sowore\u2019s Phones  \u2014 Secret Police, DSS Tells Federal Judge"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Mobile phones seized as far back as August 2019, from pro-democracy campaigner and human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, \u00a0is still being investigated by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS)<\/p>\n<p>A suit has been instituted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/11\/10\/publisher-omoyele-sowore-celebrates-his-wife-as-she-turns-a-year-older\/\">Sowore, the publisher of SaharaReporters,<\/a>\u00a0against the DSS to compel the agency to return his phones seized since August 2019 when he was first arrested.<\/p>\n<p>The case came up on Wednesday before Justice Anwuli Chikere of the Federal High Court, Abuja.<\/p>\n<p>In the opening statement by Sowore\u2019s lawyer, Mrs Funmi Falana, she prodded the DSS lawyer on the illegality of the seizures.<\/p>\n<p>The DSS lawyer rambled away while trying to explain why the lawless organisation, known for human rights violations, could not provide a valid court order that led them to seize the phones and take N10,000 from his hotel room during his abduction in August 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The DSS told Justice Chikere that the phones were \u201crecovered\u201d during his arrest and not seized.<\/p>\n<p>The agency added that the phones were still being investigated for links to terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>Two lawyers from the Ministry of Justice also argued that they were raising preliminary objection to the lawsuit because Sowore was undergoing trial before another federal judge.<\/p>\n<p>Falana, however, faulted the positions, while informing the judge that apart from not obtaining a court order to seize the phones, the government had also refused to return the phones and monies despite entreaties.<\/p>\n<p>She further stated that the charge sheets produced in court did not state that the phones were part of the evidence before the federal judge.<\/p>\n<p>She urged the judge to dismiss the preliminary objections and order the return of Sowore\u2019s phones as well as pay N20 million in damages to the applicant.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Chikere adjourned the case for ruling on December 8, 2021.<\/p>\n<p>SaharaReporters had on December 24, 2019, reported that though the DSS released Sowore following an order by the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), officials of the secret police failed to return his mobile phones apparently in an attempt to monitor his communication and deprive him of important contacts stored on the devices.<\/p>\n<p>Sowore was first arrested on August 3, 2019, for calling on Nigerians to take to the streets in peaceful demonstrations to demand a better country from the government.<\/p>\n<p>He had remained in detention until December 5, 2019, when he was briefly released on bail.<\/p>\n<p>On December 6, he was rearrested inside the Federal High Court, Abuja by DSS operatives and was kept in custody until Tuesday, December 24, 2019, when Malami gave the latest release order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mobile phones seized as far
