Sowore: How I Found Out I Was Granted Bail by drinoayo: 6:25am On Sep 25, 2019
Sowore was granted bail by Justice Taiwo Taiwo on the condition that he deposits his international passport with the court and that he is produced whenever needed by his lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN).

Details have emerged as to how pro-democracy campaigner and Convener of RevolutionNow movement, Omoyele Sowore, found out that he had been granted bail on Tuesday by the Federal High Court in Abuja.

Sowore was granted bail by Justice Taiwo Taiwo on the condition that he deposits his international passport with the court and that he is produced whenever needed by his lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN).

Speaking with Sahara Reporters at the facility of the Department of State Services where he is being held in Abuja, Sowore said, "On Tuesday morning, I was asked to dress up by men of the DSS in preparation for my arraignment.

"I got dressed and was ready to go to court but was left unattended to for several hours by the DSS with no communication as to the change in plans of the arraignment until evening when visitors came around and told me that I had been granted bail."

Sowore however, expressed skepticism on the will to carry out the court ruling by the Nigerian Government famed for disregarding court orders.

While thanking his supporters, he urged them not to relent in the demand for freedom and justice for every citizen arbitrarily detained by the Nigerian Government.

Sowore was arrested in Lagos on August 3, 2019 by operatives of the DSS for calling on Nigerians to pour out to the streets to express their anger at the poor state of governance in the country.

When I saw femi falana leading the defense, I knew sowore would be out in no time...

Falana defended fela and abiola successfully many years ago...

That guy is something else

What about the other guys arrested in Lagos and other parts of the country during the protest, we didn't hear of them. Hope they are also going to be released?

The word "free" in freedom is Deceptive Because True freedom comes at a price And Nigerians are still paying it

We only hope the government will eventually adhere to the court order. We know they like to disrespect court orders.

It's one thing to be granted bail by court and another thing for Buhari and the cabal to obey the court. Let's wait and see
