By Ikechukwu Nnochiri
ABUJA — The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Wednesday, returned activist and presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, to Kuje prison.
Trial Justice Mohammed Umar held that he should remain in custody until June 30, when the application he filed to challenge the revocation of his bail will be determined.
Sowore, who is facing a two-count cybercrime charge filed against him by the Department of State Services (DSS) for calling President Bola Tinubu a “criminal” in a social media post, had, at the resumed proceedings, asked the court to vacate an order he made on June 16 which revoked his bail and ordered his arrest.
