Omoyele Sowore, activist and publisher of Sahara Reporters, was taken away by Department of State Services (DSS) operatives at the Abuja Federal High Court premises after a judge ordered his remand at Kuje Prison.

The dramatic moment unfolded shortly after the court ruling, with DSS officials escorting Sowore out of the building under tight security. The judge’s order followed proceedings in which Sowore faced charges linked to his activism and protests.

The incident has drawn attention to Nigeria’s judicial process and the role of security agencies in enforcing court directives. Sowore’s supporters expressed concern over his treatment, while authorities insisted the move was in line with legal procedure.
