Omoyele Sowore has been ordered to remain in Kuje Prison till June 30, 2026, when the Federal High Court in Abuja will rule on his application seeking the restoration of his bail and the cancellation of a bench warrant issued against him.
Justice Mohammed Umar fixed the date on Wednesday after both parties adopted their arguments before the court.
The activist and publisher is challenging the court’s June 16 decision, which revoked his bail and ordered his arrest after he failed to appear for proceedings in his trial over allegations of cybercrime and criminal defamation.
The Department of State Services (DSS) is prosecuting Sowore for alleged criminal defamation linked to posts on his verified X and Facebook accounts in which he reportedly referred to President Bola Tinubu as a “criminal.”
Sowore has pleaded not guilty to the charges and is seeking to have his bail reinstated.
