Following a request by Sowore’s counsel, Marshall Abubakar, to keep him pending the fulfilment of the bail conditions, the judge also granted the request handing the defendant to his lawyers.

The Nigerian Police Force had on Wednesday arraigned Sowore on a 16-count charge bordering on cybercrime and defamation allegations.

Sowore had in a post shared on his X handle accused the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, of being “illegal” and “incompetent”.

The case has been adjourned until April 8 for hearing.
