Court Orders Immediate Release Of AAC Presidential Candidate, Sowore

Justice Taiwo Taiwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday ordered the release the convener of #RevolutionNow protest, Mr. Omoyele Sowore, from the custody of the Department of State Service immediately.

The judge said the activist who was the presidential candidate of African Action Congress, AAC should be released to his lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), who is to produce him for arraignment whenever he is required.

The judge, however, said since charges had already been filed against the activist, he must deposit his passport and other travel documents to guarantee his availability for trial.
