The drama which took place at the Federal High Court in Abuja on December 6, leading to the rearrest of Omoyele Sowore by officers of the Department of State Services (DSS) while court session was ongoing, has elicited a reaction from the UK government.
The British High Commission in Nigeria tweeted that it is following Sowore's detention closely.
“As we celebrate #HumanRightsDay, we encourage all political, state and non-state actors to uphold the ideals set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, signed 71 years ago today. We are following closely the continued detention of #Sowore.
Respect for the rule of law and free and responsible speech is fundamental for #democracy. The UK is committed to defending and strengthening human rights worldwide and, as we conclude #16DaysofActivism2019, working to end gender-based violence.”
