The Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday refused to grant an application for long adjournment filed by Omoyele Sowore, publisher of Sahara Reporters.
The Department of State Services (DSS) charged Sowore with criminal defamation, cyberstalking, and incitement.
Justice Mohammed Umar refused the application by Sowore’s lawyer, Reuben Adakole, seeking permission to adjourn the trial until after the court’s annual vacation.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Sowore is also the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC).
He was alleged to have made false claims against the person of President Tinubu by referring to him as “a criminal” in a post he made on his “X” and Facebook accounts.
