Sowore Remanded to Kuje Centre; Court Sets June 30 Hearing

On Wednesday, the Federal High Court in Abuja ordered Omoyele Sowore to be sent back to Kuje Correctional Centre until June 30, 2026, when an application to set aside a bench warrant and revoke his bail will be heard. Justice Moham Umar revoked the bail granted to Sowore in December 2025, which was based on self-recognition.

The court's decision came after Sowore's defense lawyer, R.O. Adakony, and Adeyinka Olumid Fusika, SAN, informed the court about the adjournment of the hearing regarding the application to set aside the bench warrant.

The prosecution, represented by T. Kehinde, opposed the application, urging the court to refuse it.

Sowore's absence from court on June 16, 2026, led to the revocation of his bail. The allegations against Sowore involve cyberbullying and an unsuccessful appeal to remove a post made on his Facebook account in August 2025 that called President Bola Tinubu a criminal.
