The Federal High Court Abuja has ordered the Department of State Services to release five worshipers who were arrested at Dunamis International Gospel Centre on July 4 for allegedly wearing t-shirts with alleged inciting inscriptions.

The plaintiffs, who urged the court to declare their arrest and detention unlawful also asked the court to award N10 million, each, in damages, for the violation of their fundamental rights.
However, Justice Anwuli Chikere while delivering Judgement on Monday ordered that the DSS to release the applicants with immediate effect.
