“Muhammadu Buhari through his Attorney General, Abubakar Malami tried to rearraign us for ‘Treasonable Felony’ today. Prosecutors forgot to be present in court for arraignment and the court also did not inform our lawyers. Case adjourned again till March 2022. Time wasters! #RevolutionNow,” Sowore tweeted on Monday.
The Department of State Services (DSS) had early arraigned Sowore and Olawale Bakare before Justice Ojukwu for treasonable felony for organising the ‘Revolution Now’ protest on August 5, 2019, which the government desperately used security agents to clamp down on.
Justice Ojukwu subsequently ordered that Sowore and Bakare be released on bail but the DSS disobeyed the order for several weeks. After granting him bail, the DSS re-arrested Sowore inside the court, causing commotion which made the judge flee.
He was, however, released following nationwide condemnation.
