Trial continues as Sowore arrives Court from Kuje prison

Human rights activist and 2027 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, arrived at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday as proceedings in his trial continued.

Sowore, who is also the publisher of Sahara Reporters, was brought to the court from the Kuje Correctional Centre, where he is currently being held in custody.

The activist was remanded following an order issued on Monday by Justice Mohammed Garba Umar, who directed that he be kept in prison pending the hearing and determination of his application seeking a stay of execution of the court’s decision revoking his bail and issuing a bench warrant against him.

He was immediately picked up by operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS who handed him over to prison officials.

Arriving at the court on Wednesday, Sowore could be seen smiling during conversation with some lawyers.

Several activists and his supporters are currently at the court premises waiting for the next move.

Very Nigerian reports that the DSS is prosecuting Sowore for allegedly making false claims against the person of President Bola Tinubu by referring to him as “a criminal” in a post he made on his “X” and Facebook accounts.
