We did not invade courtroom to arrest Sowore- DSS

 

  Department of State Services (DSS), has said it never invaded court room at the Federal High Court in Abuja to arrest #RevolutionNow Convener, Omoyele Sowore. It said the incident on Friday was orchestrated for the purpose of propaganda and to bring the Service to disrepute.

  A statement by the Public Relations Officer of the National Headquarters of the DSS in Abuja, Dr Peter Afunanya, said the agency, as a professional, responsible and law abiding organization, could not have invaded a courtroom including the one presided over by a respected Judge who is not only handling its case but whose order was unconditionally obeyed within a 24 hour ultimatum. This is coming as the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has asked the federal government to arrest and prosecute officials of the DSS who re-arrested Sowore, at a federal high court, Abuja, on Friday.

APC rebukes Atiku, PDP for condemning Buhari, DSS

 

  The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Sunday rebuked the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, for condemning the Buhari government and the Department of State Services (DSS) over last Friday’s court invasion.

Recall that DSS operatives on Friday re-arrested Omoyele Sowore, convener of RevolutionNow campaign, a situation that has generated local and international criticisms. In a statement Sunday night, Lanre Issa-Onilu, APC National Publicity Secretary, said Atiku and the PDP chose to present and spread concocted alternative facts and lies on the incident.

It said the presidency has clarified that the DSS does not necessarily need the president’s permission in all cases to carry out its essential and constitutional responsibilities. Whether Sowore flouted any of his bail conditions or staged the incident in court is another matter which the court and the prosecuting agency should address”, APC stated.

Topic:The Blessing Of Humility [TREM Devotional 9 December 2019]
''Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.”
James 4:10 KJV

Do you know that, sometimes, shame or embarrassment is a display of pride? It is you thinking that it is all about you, and not about Jesus. Pride always says ‘people have not seen me and because of that I am embarrassed.’ If you are not willing to humble yourself under the mighty hand of God, how can He exalt you? The blessing of humility is God’s grace that covers your weaknesses so that the devil would not be able to destroy you till He completes His work of transformation in your life.
