Court Slams N200,000 on FG for Stalling Sowore's Trial
Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu of the Federal High Court, Abuja on Wednesday slammed a fine on the federal government for forcing an adjournment on the court in the trial of the publisher of saharareporters, Omoyele Sowore, and his codefendant, Olawale Bakare.
While Sowore was arrested for calling for a nationwide protest against the Buhari administration through his #RevolutionNow protest, Bakare was arrested for allegedly participating in the said protest which held in parts of the country last August. When the matter was called, the federal government through its counsel, A. K. Alilu, asked the court for an adjournment to enable him serve the amended charge on the defendants.
