Controversial investigative journalist, Kemi Olunloyo, has defied the Federal Government by wearing the RevolutionNow beret.

Convener of the RevolutionNow protest, Omoyele Sowore, is in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) on charges of treasonable felony and other sundry offences.

However, Ms Olunloyo, in a tweet sighted by Igbere TV on Thursday, said that she could wear whatever she wanted, describing it as freedom of expression.

“Nigerian youth, this is called #Freedomofexpression. You can wear what you want. I can choose to wear my #RevolutionNow beret presented to me at #felabration2019 by #Sowore group or wear my wig,” she wrote.

DSS counsel, Hassan Liman, on Wednesday failed in his bid to get the Federal High Court, Abuja, to take witnesses in-camera in the ongoing trial of Mr Sowore.

Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu adjourned the matter till December 5 and 6 for the commencement of trial.
