FHC Orders Sowore’s Remand in Kuje Prison For Trial on Defamation of Tinubu
The Federal High Court in Abuja, on Monday, ordered the remand of Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, in Kuje prison, Abuja.
Justice Mohammed Garba Umar, in a short ruling, ordered Sowore to be kept in prison pending the hearing and determination of his motion for stay of the order for revocation of his bail and bench warrant.
Justice Umar also dismissed Sowore’s earlier application seeking the judge’s recusal from the case on the ground of alleged bias.
The judge then adjourned the matter until June 24 the hearing of the application for stay.
The motion for stay was filed by the defendant’s new lawyer, Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika, SAN.
Sowore arrived at the court in the company of members of his group with placards.
Justice Umar had, on June 16, revoked a bail granted to Sowore following his failure to appear in court for his trial.
Justice Mohammed Umar, in a ruling on an oral application made by the lawyer to the Department of State Services, DSS, Akinkolu Kehinde, SAN, also issued a bench warrant for his arrest.
The DSS is prosecuting Sowore for allegedly making false claims against the person of President Bola Tinubu by referring to him as “a criminal” in a post he made on his “X” and Facebook accounts.
