Sowore Appears in Court After Bench Warrant Issued for His Arrest
Omoyele Sowore, presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) and publisher of Sahara Reporters, on Monday appeared before the Federal High Court in Abuja for his ongoing trial, days after a judge issued a bench warrant for his arrest.
Sowore arrived at the court premises accompanied by members of his group, some of whom carried placards.
Justice Mohammed Umar had on June 16 revoked Sowore’s bail and ordered his arrest after he failed to appear in court for his trial. The warrant was issued following an oral application by Akinkolu Kehinde (SAN), counsel to the Department of State Services (DSS).
The DSS is prosecuting Sowore on allegations that he made false statements against President Bola Tinubu by describing him as “a criminal” in posts published on his X and Facebook accounts.
The court had not yet commenced sitting as of the time of this report.
