Court Grants Sowore ₦200M Bail with Strict Conditions
A Federal High Court in Abuja has approved Omoyele Sowore’s bail in the sum of ₦200 million in his alleged cybercrime case. The judge set tough conditions, including the presentation of two responsible sureties and the surrender of travel documents where necessary. Sowore, who denies any wrongdoing and calls the charges politically motivated, will remain free pending the defence’s presentation at the next hearing. The prosecution maintains it has sufficient evidence under the Cybercrime Act. The ruling has sparked widespread debate on social media, with supporters hailing it as a win for due process and critics urging the courts to carry on unhampered. Legal experts note the case could shape Nigeria’s approach to digital rights and free speech. What’s your view on the bail decision and its implications for civil liberties in Nigeria?
