There was drama in court as Barrister Marshal reportedly failed to appear for proceedings in the ongoing case involving the Department of State Services (DSS) and activist politician Omoyele Sowore.
With his counsel absent, Sowore took up his own defence before the court, drawing attention from observers and supporters present at the hearing. The development added a new twist to the legal battle, as proceedings continued amid questions over the absence of the lawyer.
The case remains closely watched by civil rights advocates and members of the public, with many viewing it as a significant test of the rights to free expression and political dissent in Nigeria.
More details are expected as the court proceedings continue.
