Sowore Accuses Judge Of Revoking Bail Despite Absence From Court In 'Tinubu Is A Criminal' Case

The activist expressed concerns over an attempt to forcefully assert control over the proceedings after he had filed an application seeking the judge's recusal from the case.

Human rights activist and presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has accused Justice M.G. Umar of the Federal High Court, Abuja, of revoking his bail in a controversial move despite the judge not sitting on the matter on the scheduled court date.

Sowore made this known on Tuesday while reacting to developments in a criminal case filed against him by the Department of State Services (DSS) over his public declaration that “Tinubu is a criminal.”

The activist expressed concerns over an attempt to forcefully assert control over the proceedings after he had filed an application seeking the judge's recusal from the case.

SaharaReporters earlier reported that the matter came up before the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday but Justice Umar was absent and did not sit on the case.
