The Department of State Services
(DSS) has deployed more operatives within its headquarters in Abuja ahead of a
protest over the detention of Omoyele Sowore, pro-democracy activist and
publisher of Sahara Reporters.
The DSS has refused to comply
with a court order for the release of Sowore.
Some human rights activists have
scheduled Tuesday for a protest at the DSS headquarters over the continued
detention Sowore and his co-accused, Olawale Bakare.
Last Saturday, some activists
held a sit-in outside the DSS building.
Currently, there is a heavy
presence of armed security operatives at the main gate of the agency, and at
the road leading to the place at Aso Drive.
Also, five Hilux vehicles are
stationed in front of the building.
The heavy deployment of security
operatives in the area may be to forestall further demonstrations.
The security situation has
resulted in a traffic gridlock within the area.
