Presidential candidate and activist, Omoyele Sowore, has been granted bail by the Federal High Court in the sum of ₦200 million, subject to stringent conditions imposed by the court.
As part of the bail terms, the activist must deposit his international passport with the court and provide two sureties. One of the sureties must be a traditional ruler from Sowore’s community, while the other must be the owner of a verified property located in Abuja.
The ruling marks a significant development in the ongoing legal proceedings involving Sowore. The court’s conditions are intended to ensure his availability throughout the trial while allowing him to remain out of custody if he meets the bail requirements.
Whether Sowore secures his release will depend on fulfilling all the conditions stipulated by the court, after which the case will continue on its merits before the Federal High Court.
