Sahara Reporters publisher and convener of #RevolutionNow protests, Omoyele Sowore, who is being held by the Department of State Service (DSS) in violation of court order will be arraigned before the Federal High Court Abuja on Monday by the government of president Muhammadu Buhari.
He is to be arraigned on seven counts of treasonable felony, money laundering and cybercrimes which was instituted against him by the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation, the Punch reported.
Multiple sources confirmed to the newspaper on Saturday that the criminal case instituted against Sowore was not assigned to Justice Taiwo Taiwo, but to Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, who has fixed Monday for arraignment.
The DSS failed to release Sowore, who has been in detention since August 3, despite a court order granting him bail.
Justice Taiwo Taiwo, who earlier on August 8, granted the DSS permission to keep the former presidential candidate for 45 days, had on September 24, granted him bail.
Sowore met his bail condition on September 25 but was not been released by the DSS.
The DSS on August 3, 2019 arrested him for calling for a revolution through a protest scheduled to hold on August 5.
