The International Human Rights Commission (IHRC) has written to Nigeria’s Department of State Service (DSS) seeking intervention in the case between the detained Omoleye Sowore and the Federal Government of Nigeria.

In a letter addressed to the Director-General of DSS, which was made available to DAILY POST in Abuja on Tuesday, head of Nigeria’s Central Office, Ambassador Friday Sani m, said it was necessary for IHRC to intervene, saying, mediation and peaceful resolution of national crisis is the way out globally.

The letter explained that the commission got to know through its official Representatives and volunteers working in Nigeria that Mr Sowore, a human right activist and Publisher was arrested by the DSS for calling for revolution.

Part of the letter reads: “We have been reliably informed by our official representatives and volunteers from Nigeria over the developments that are culminating into a planned protest that eventually led to the arrest of some of the said protesters led by one, Omoleye Sowore.”

IHRC said, Nigeria’s democracy was fragile, hence, there was need for intervention as a matter of duty with a view to finding lasting peace.

The letter further explained that it has reached out to some protesters as first steps, while hoping that details of protocols would be worked out for mediation arrangements if the request was granted.

The International organization calls for interim release of Mr. Omoleye Sowore and other protesters arrested with him to enable dialogue with immediate effect.

“On this note, we seek the interim release of Omoleye Sowore and other protesters arrested on account of protesting over the call for revolution now. ”
