Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu of the Federal High Court in Abuja has granted Omoyele Sowore bail after two months in custody of the Department of State Services
Sowore, a former presidential candidate, was arrested by the DSS on August 3, 2019 for calling for nationwide protests, tagged RevolutionNow, against the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government.
