The Department of State Services, DSS, on Friday Re-arrested Mr. Omoyele Sowore, convener of #RevolutionNow protest and his ally Olawale Bakare.
This a few hours after the duo were released from the custody of the security service.
The two who are facing trial for treason had been in the custody of the DSS for 124 days prior to their release on Thursday.
Nigerians have since taken to the social media to express their views on the drama that played out at the premises of the Abuja Federal High Court where operatives of the DSS disrupted proceedings in their attempt to arrest Sowore and Bakare.
