![Half-Naked Women Protests At Abuja High Court Over Continued Detention Of Sowore [Video] 1](https://media.kanyidaily.com/2019/12/05144244/WhatsApp-Image-2019-12-05-at-10.48.09-AM.jpeg "Half-Naked Women Protests At Abuja High Court Over Continued Detention Of Sowore [Video] 1")
A group of half-naked women, on Thursday, stormed the Federal High Court in Abuja to protest the continued illegal detention of the convener of RevolutionNow movement, Omoyele Sowore.
We gathered that the women are from the birthplace of Mr. Sowore, in Kiribo, Ese-Odo Local Government Area of Ondo State.
The women who left their homes in Ondo to demand the release of Sowore in Abuja, were seen protesting in white wrappers and bra, with no clothes covering the rest of the upper parts of their bodies.
KanyiDail had reported that Sowore and his co-detainee, Adebayo Bakare, were produced in court on Thursday, with the judge, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, ordering the Department of State Services (DSS) to release them from the illegal detention within 24 hours.
Their trial on charges of treasonable felony was scheduled to commence on Thursday but the court had to adjourn till Friday (tomorrow) after DSS failed to comply with the release order issued on the 6th of November 2019.
The protesting women who arrived in the court environment after the proceedings started on Thursday, were not allowed entry into the court premises.
But they stayed by the gate brandishing their placards with various inscriptions calling for Sowore’s release and only departed long after the proceedings had ended and Sowore with his co-detainee returned to custody by the DSS operatives.
In their Apoi dialect the women, many of them with grey hair, described themselves as beneficiaries of Sowore philanthropic gestures and appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to release their son from custody.

Will DSS comply with court orders to release @YeleSowore or not?
The public perception seems to be that @NigeriaGov will only obey court orders if it gets what it wants.
Interesting days ahead!#FreeSowore#FreeSoworeNow Women Protesting Half Naked right now at the Court Gate pic.twitter.com/u1vweKqT2N
