The convener of the #Revolutionnow movement, Omoyele Sowore, has been granted bail by Justice Musa Suleiman Liman of the Federal High Court to the tune of N10m and one surety in like sum.

According to the court’s ruling, the surety must be a responsible individual with landed property valued at a similar sum.

The surety is expected to deposit the original documents of landed property and a passport photograph with the court’s registrar.

While ruling on the bail application, the trial judge ordered Sowore to deposit his international passport with the court’s registrar.

Sowore, who has been undergoing legal proceedings, was initially required to meet the bail conditions within a set timeframe.

However, the court granted him a 24-hour extension to fulfil the terms following an application by his lawyer, Abubakar Marshal, for an extension of time to enable Sowore to perfect his bail conditions.

The former AAC presidential candidate faces 16 cybercrime charges filed by the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, following his reference to the police chief as an “Illegal IG.”

Sowore was detained at the police’s Intelligence Response Team (IRT) office in Abuja on Monday after voluntarily honouring a police invitation. His detention followed his refusal to accept bail conditions set by the police.

 

On Wednesday, defence counsel Abubakar Marshal urged the court to grant Sowore bail on self-recognisance and the most liberal terms.

 

He presented evidence showing that his client was invited via a WhatsApp message from the complainant and had honoured the invitation in good faith.

 

 

The Marshal also noted that the complainant acknowledged Sowore’s right to bail—however, the prosecution, led by M.U. Jonathan opposed the bail application and requested its dismissal.
