Omoyele Sowore
Security in and around the Federal High Court, Abuja, was, on Wednesday, beefed up by officers of the Nigerian Police Force as Omoyele Sowore, Convener, #RevolutionNow Protest, appeared for the commencement of trial.
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu had, on Oct. 21, varied the bail conditions granted Sowore, and his co-defendant, Olawale Bakare.
Justice Ojukwu granted the order in a ruling on the application for a bail variation by the duo charged with treasonable felony among others.
She waived the earlier requirement that Sowore should deposit N50m as security and reduced the amount attached to Bakare’s bail.
