Fresh from being granted a N10 million bail over a case of alleged cybercrimes, former presidential candidate of African Action Congress (AAC) and activist, Omoyele Sowore, was on Thursday spotted among protesters at the front of the Federal High Court in Abuja.
According to the placards they were bearing, the protesters were demanding for the exit of the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun.
NEW DAILY PRIME reports that Justice Musa Suleiman Liman of the Federal High Court in Abuja granted Sowore bail in the amount of N10 million with one surety of the same amount.
The publisher of Sahara Reporters was reportedly ordered to also deposit his international passport with the court and was given 24 hours to meet the bail conditions or be remanded in police custody.
In a post on Facebook, Sowore commented about the bail, saying, “They granted the ‘bail,’ but I am not going to be bailed out by a corrupt civil servant at level 17 or 16; they got the memo and took the condition off their table. Even then, they still targeted my international passport, but that too they will never have!”
The accompanying pictures and video showed that Sowore briefly joined the demonstrators, singing and holding a “Egbetokun Must Go” placard, before leaving.
