The Department of State Services (DSS) has said its investigation so far revealed that the “RevolutionNow” movement was a smokescreen for the actual intention of Omoyele Sowore and his allies “to topple the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
The DSS said it engaged in a painstaking investigation of Sowore’s activities in view of the quantum of evidence so far gathered and may return to court to seek an extension of the 45 days granted it by the Federal High Court, Abuja to detain him.
The security agency made this known in a fresh document the DSS filed at the Federal High Court in response to an application by Sowore, challenging the court’s order, granting the security agency 45 days to detain him pending investigation.
In the counter-affidavit deposed to by Godwin Agbadua, an official of the DSS, it was stated that Sowore was arrested on reasonable suspicion of having committed a capital offence, upon his alleged involvement in terrorists’ activities.
