Bail revocation: Sowore to remain in custody until June 30

The Federal High Court in Abuja has scheduled June 30, 2026, to rule on an application filed by activist and publisher, Omoyele Sowore, seeking the reinstatement of his bail and the withdrawal of a bench warrant earlier issued for his arrest.

Justice Mohammed Umar fixed the date after counsel to the parties adopted their respective submissions on the application.

The court had on June 16 revoked Sowore’s bail and ordered his arrest after he failed to appear for proceedings in his trial over allegations of cybercrime and criminal defamation.

Sowore is being prosecuted by the Department of State Services over claims that he described President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a “criminal” in posts published on his X and Facebook accounts.
