#RevolutionNow: Another Judge grants Sowore N100m bail, bars him from leaving Abuja

A federal high court in Abuja on Friday granted a N100 million bail to Omoyele Sowore, convener of #RevolutionNow Movement.

Sowore has been in custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) since August 3 when he was arrested in Lagos.

Ijeoma ojukwu, the presiding judge, held that the prosecution failed to show good reasons why the defendants should not be granted bail since the offences are bailable.

Sowore was arraigned on September 30, alongside Olawale Bakare, his co-defendant, on a 7-count charge of felony brought against him by the federal government.

This is the second bail he has been granted in less than than two weeks.

What remains to be seen is whether the federal government or indeed the DSS that refused to obey a previous court order will now obey the current one. Pundits said it’s highly unlikely.
