Mother of Omoyele Sowore, Esther, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari, his wife, deputy, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo among others, to rein in the Department of State Services (DSS) to free her son.
Sowore, convener of the Revolution Now and the DSS created a spectacle in the court last Friday as he was rearrested in the court premises hours after his release.
Sowore’s mother, in an interview, aired on Sunday by Television Continental (TVC), begged Buhari, his wife, Osinbajo, the National leader of the All Progressives Congress, and Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka to intervene, claiming his son’s health is deteriorating in detention.
She said: “I am begging Buhari in the name of Allah to release my son. It has affected my health. Release my son for me; it is time to release Omoyele. Enough is enough. Aisha help. Everyone is preparing for Christmas and New Year. If not for his detention, my son would by now be preparing to go to the village to meet me and everybody in the village.
“Everybody is waiting for him in the village. I am now pleading with President Buhari to help me release him. I mean, fully release Sowore. It should be 100 per cent release.
“I am inviting all the leaders – Tinubu, Soyinka and the Vice President to intervene and help release Omoyele Sowore. He is not a criminal; he is a man of God. I know my son; my son loves everybody.”
