 He said this is something that has never happened in the history of Nigeria that the secret security agency will have the effrontery to snatch an accused who had just been given a bail in the last 24 hours from inside the court room.

The Chairman hereby called for the immediate release of Mr. Sowore as he had been given a bail for which a trial should commence soon.
