The development comes amid the continuation of Sowore’s trial on charges of cyberstalking and criminal defamation.
The Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams, has condemned the decision by a Federal High Court in Abuja to remand Omoyele Sowore, human rights activist and presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), in Kuje Correctional Centre.
The development comes amid the continuation of Sowore’s trial on charges of cyberstalking and criminal defamation.
In a statement on Tuesday, Iba Adams expressed deep concerns over the court’s revocation of Sowore’s bail and the subsequent order for his detention.
He described the move as a troubling precedent that undermines the principles of fair trial and freedom of expression in Nigeria.
