#RevolutionNow: We Will Contend Court Order For Sowore’s Detention – AAC

The legal adviser to theAfrican Action Congress,Inibehe Effiong, has said that the party will contend the 45-day detention order against#RevolutionNowconvener,Omoyele Sowore.

Mr. Effiongdisclosed that theAACwould file an application before the court to seek an order to vacate its decision on the human rights activist.

“We are saddened by the decision of the court because our position remains that the basis for whichSoworewas arrested is not tenable in the law.

Even at that, if you have already convicted him in the media, why do you need either 90 or 45 days to investigate again?”
