The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) detaining the #RevolutionNow convener, Omoyele Sowore, at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, has released the activist.
SaharaReporters learnt on Sunday that following Sowore’s detention by the Immigration Service at the airport over a watchlist of the secret police, Department of State Service (DSS), it seized his passport and contacted the DSS.
It held the activist while it contacted the DSS and awaited ‘an order from above’.
Sowore was arrested and detained at the airport on Sunday immediately upon his arrival in Nigeria.
“I have just been released. My passport and everything have been returned to me,” Sowore told SaharaReporters after his release.
