Nigerians
are still in shock after the Attorney General of the federation and minister
for justice Abubakar Malami ordered the immediate release of Omoyele Sowore the
convener of the revolution now protest and Sambo Dasuki.
Dasuki’s case was even
more shocking because he has been held at the Department of State Services
since 2015 after the arms deal scandal broke out.
Despite several court
orders for their release from custody, the federal government of Nigeria was
deviant for many months. The government's supporters felt that they both
committed treasonable offenses which are not subject to bail.
People kept following
the news until they were released from custody to finally believe what was
going on.
However,, there are
speculations that Nigeria was coerced by the United States of America to
release them because Sowore is also a US citizen.
In a widely circulated
letter, signed by a senator from the US Congress, Nigeria was warned of the
implication of holding Sowore and other persons in custody against court
orders.
