The approval granted DSS is to allow the agency conclude its investigation on the dealings of Sowore who was the Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress in the last general election.
The DSS had sought the court’s nod to keep Sowore in its custody for 90 days in order for it to have a thorough investigation.
Sowore was arrested in Lagos by the DSS in the wee hours of Saturday before being taken to the department’s headquarters in Abuja on Sunday.
