English: We are sad that our brother and great benefactor was arrested and had since been detained by the DSS over frivolous charges. Sowore is not a criminal because we know his history very well.     “This is a man that placed many of us on scholarship with his personal money and made it possible for us to have education.     “I have been benefiting from his kind gesture for close to five years now.     So, we are not happy about his continued detention despite court orders granting his release.
