Omoyele Sowore's lead counsel Femi Falana who appeared on
TVC’s Your View on Monday December 9, disclosed that the Nigerian government
reached out for a deal during his client's first 45 days in detention.
According to the
human rights activist, the Department of State Services reached out to him to
persuade Sowore to sign a death warrant deal but he told them off.
Falana said;
“They went to a court
behind us and got an order to detain Sowore for 45 days to investigate his
alleged terrorism,” Femi Falana said on TVC’s Your View on Monday.
“At the end of the investigation, nothing was found but they
went to him in detention to reach a deal."
“When they could not succeed, they met me and they wanted me
to persuade him to agree to sign his death warrant and I told them off,” he
added.
According to Femi Falana, the charges filed against Sowore
came after the DSS failed in getting him to sign a deal with them.
