Omoyele Sowore, the detained publisher of online news platform, Sahara Reporters, has recounted his alleged ordeal in the hands of the DSS since he was arrested in August.
According to the transcript which was shared by Sahara Reporters on their website, Sowore during the interrogation, said he was roughhandled and his properties were seized during his arrest.
“I was abducted in the middle of the night. I was taken to one of your facilities in Lagos. I was beaten up, rough-handled on my way to the facility in the car.
And my cousin, who was in the room with me, was also beaten and handcuffed, and my properties were forcefully seized. And when I got there, of course, the maltreatment continued, they threw me on a cold floor and locked the door.“
I had no contact with even the guards for two nights; I was in that facility before I was flown here by your agents. So, I was seriously maltreated” he said.
