Sowore Critiques Bail Use Against El-Rufai as Unacceptable

Omoyele Sowore, the former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), has publicly criticized the legal processes involved in the case against former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai. In a post shared on his official page on Tuesday, Sowore expressed concern over the use of bail as a tool for intimidation, labeling it as "unacceptable." He argued that legal procedures should not be manipulated to cage Nigerians and called for the courts to uphold the rule of law by granting bail when necessary.

Sowore emphasized that the application of the law must be fair and in accordance with human rights standards, rejecting the notion that bail conditions should serve to unjustly confine individuals. His statements highlight the broader issue of legal fairness and the treatment of individuals within the Nigerian judicial system.
