After being held hostage for almost an hour at a Federal High Court in Abuja, the DSS operatives re-arrested Sowore.

As earlier reported, a dramatic scenario played out in the courtroom on Friday, December 6, 2019 as the DSS officers attempted to re-arrest the Sahara Reporters founder.

The attempt led to a physical struggle between Sowore's supporters and the DSS officials.
