Activist Omoyele Sowore has reacted after a Federal High Court in Abuja ordered that he be remanded in Kuje Correctional Centre over his absence at a previous court sitting.
In a post shared on his official X page on Monday, Sowore said the ruling followed his “one absence from court since the bogus case began,” adding that he had been away consulting with his new legal team led by Olumide-Fusika, SAN.
The post reads in part:
“Mr Olumide-Fusika duly informed the court that my absence was solely for consultations with him, yet the judge proceeded to order my remand regardless.
“I need hardly say that I am the least bothered by this development.
“Imprisonment has never defeated a just cause, and it never will. I urge the Nigerian people and all our comrades to remain resolute, steadfast, and unyielding in the quest for a genuine revolution that will liberate our country from oppression, injustice, and misrule. The struggle continues. Victory is certain.
#RevolutionNow #Sowore2027.”
Meanwhile, tribune Online had earlier reported that Justice Muhammad Umar ordered that Sowore be kept at the Kuje Correctional Centre.
He will remain in custody pending the hearing of an application filed by his new lawyer asking the court to set aside the order that revoked his bail and the bench warrant issued against him.
At the last court date, Sowore was absent, and this led the prosecution to ask for the revocation of his bail.
Although Sowore had sent a letter to the court at that sitting requesting an adjournment, he did not give any reason for his absence.
At Monday’s hearing, Sowore was present in court and represented by Olumide Fusika, SAN.
Justice Muhammad Umar also dismissed Sowore’s application asking the judge to withdraw from the case.
