Overview
The Federal High Court in Abuja, on Thursday, granted the human rights activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, bail in the sum of N10m.
Sowore faces 17 counts of cybercrime, including accusations of calling the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, an “Illegal IGP” on his verified X handle.
Justice Musa Liman, delivering a ruling on his bail application, held that a person had the right to bail unless there were compelling reasons to deny it.
Shortly after his release, the activist was spotted among protesters at the front of the Federal High Court, who had besieged the premises to demand his unconditional release.
