Appeal Court Fixes July 8 To Hear YeleSowore's Appeal On Bail Condition | Sahara Reporters The case, which was slated for adoption of the brief today, could not go on following the preliminary objection filed by government... FreeSowore READ MORE:
The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has fixed July 8, 2020 for the hearing of the appeal filed by human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, challenging his bail condition at the Federal High Court.
Sowore's lawyer, Abubakar Marshall, had told the court to discountenance the preliminary objection, adding that the respondent's brief had not been filed as required by procedure. Marshall argued that the right procedure was for them to file 'respondent brief' and incorporate their objections into it to enable them file reply brief as recognised by the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal.
The matter was therefore adjourned to July 8 for hearing of appeal while the respondent was required to file its brief before then. Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu of the Federal High Court in Abuja had on October 21, 2019 varied the bail condition granted but Sowore remains restricted to Abuja and also barred from speaking to the press.
