The Department of State Service has finally released SaharaReporters publisher, Omoyele Sowore, and his co-detainee, Adebayo Bakare following a court order.

Their lead defence counsel, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), confirmed the news on Thursday.
He said they were released about 7pm on Thursday.

He also told our correspondent that the agency had paid the sum of N100,000 awarded against it by Justice Ojukwu for making the court to adjourn till Friday for frivolous reasons on Thursday.
