A Federal High Court in Abuja has granted bail to Omoyele Sowore, the Publisher of Sahara Reporters and a former presidential candidate, in a cybercrime case filed against him by the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun.
Sowore confirmed the development on Thursday via his X handle, stating that the initial requirement to provide a civil servant as a surety was removed from the bail conditions.
“They granted the ‘bail’, but I am not going to be bailed out by a corrupt civil servant at Level 17 or 16,” he wrote. “They got the memo and took the condition off their table.”
The activist also alleged an attempt to seize his international passport as part of the bail conditions but insisted he would not comply.
“Even then, they still targeted my international passport, but that too they will never have!” he added.
