Reacting to the re-arrest of her son, Mrs Sowore in a video interview with CNN said the issue is now affecting her health.

The dejected woman said, ‘What shall I do again? So, they are not yet ready to release him. Who are (those) doing all this work? So, he’s with them in detention again. What did they see again that they have not seen before? I can not eat, I can not sleep. It affected my health. It has been four months. I plead to Buhari in the name of Allah to release my son”.
