This comes after fruitless attempts by DSS operatives to rearrest Sowore and Bakare inside the courtroom, less than 24-hours after they were released from DSS detention following the order of the court who also asked that they pay a fine of N100,000.

According to Sowore, the operative tried shooting him and dragged him in front of the Judge leading to her retiring into her chambers. This cause commotion in the courtroom as activists prevented them from taking him into custody.

After the armed operatives prevented Sowore and team from leaving the place, Falana decides to drive the two men in his car out of the court premises with DSS operatives in several vehicles chasing them closely.
