Sowore joins 'Egbetokun Must Go' protesters at Abuja court

Publisher of Sahara Reporters, activist and former Nigerian elections presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, was on Thursday spotted among protesters at the front of the Federal High Court in Abuja, holding a banner that reads: “Egbetokun must go.”

Justice Musa Suleiman Liman of the Federal High Court in Abuja granted Sowore bail in the amount of N10 million with one surety of the same amount.

He was reportedly ordered to also deposit his international passport with the court and was given 24 hours to meet the bail conditions or be remanded in police custody.

Sowore commented on Facebook about the bail, where he said: “They granted the ‘bail,’ but I am not going to be bailed out by a corrupt civil servant at level 17 or 16; they got the memo and took the condition off their table. Even then, they still targeted my international passport, but that too they will never have!”

Photos and video shared along with the post showed that Sowore briefly joined the demonstrators, singing and holding a “Egbetokun Must Go” placard, before leaving.
