The Federal High Court in Abuja has adjourned ruling on the application filed by human rights activist and presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, seeking the restoration of his bail.

Justice Mohammed Umar, who is presiding over the matter instituted by the Department of State Services (DSS), on Wednesday, fixed June 30 for ruling on the application.

Sowore is currently facing prosecution over comments in which he described President Bola Tinubu as “a criminal.”

During proceedings, Sowore’s lawyer, R.O. Adakole, who held brief for lead counsel, Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika (SAN), urged the court to exercise its discretion and release the activist to his legal team pending the determination of the application before the court.
