A federal high court in Abuja has asked the Department of secret services, DSS to remand, the convener of #RevolutionNow movement, Omoyele Sowore in custody.
Sowore, the publisher of Sahara Reporters has been in detention since August 3 when he was arrested in Lagos.
A court had earlier granted him bail but the secret police refused to release him.
On Monday, he was arraigned on a 7-count charge of felony brought against him and Olawale Bakare, his co-defendant, by the federal government.
