There was tension at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday morning following a disruption ahead of the court sitting involving activist Omoyele Sowore.
The situation reportedly escalated when a man in the court premises accused operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) of preventing one of Sowore’s lawyers from gaining access to the courtroom.
In a viral outburst, the man criticized government officials and security agencies, expressing frustration over what he described as misplaced priorities. He also questioned the state of the nation, referencing ongoing security challenges and alleging that authorities were failing to address them effectively.
“See all the governors in court like it’s a war zone… yet they can’t go to the bush to rescue the kidnapped children,” he said, in part.
The incident drew attention from those present, contributing to the already tense atmosphere surrounding the court proceedings.
As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official statement from the DSS regarding the allegation. It also remains unclear what led to the reported restriction or whether it was part of standard security procedures.
The development adds to the heightened public interest in Sowore’s case, which has continued to attract supporters and critics alike.
Observers say the situation underscores ongoing concerns about access to justice, courtroom security, and the broader political climate.
