Activist and lawyer, Femi Falana SAN, told the Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday the convener of #RevolutionNow protest, Mr. Omoyele Sowore, and his co-defendant, Olawale Bakare, have met the bail conditions imposed on them in respect of their trial on charges of treasonable felony.
Falana submitted, that, the defendants would be freed later on Wednesday.
He said, “I have already explained to the learned prosecuting counsel that we are encumbered by the refusal of the State Security Service to allow us to prepare for the defence of the defendants.
“I had already asked my learned counsel for the prosecution, that we are confident that the defendants will be freed today (Wednesday) from the custody of the DSS having met the bail conditions imposed on them by this honourable court.
“Once they are liberated from the custody of the DSS, we will be in a position to take full instruction from them.”
Mr. Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika SAN, who appeared for the second defendant at the Wednesday’s proceedings, also confirmed the development.
But the prosecuting counsel, Mr. Hassan Liman SAN, opposed the application for adjournment on the grounds that the charges were filed and served on the defendants as far back as September 20.
