Arraignment of Sowore and Others Stalled Over Defamation Charges Against Tinubu
The arraignment of Omoyele Sowore and others over defamation charges against Bola Tinubu was delayed at the Federal High Court in Abuja. Sowore allegedly made false claims against Tinubu on Facebook.
The court proceedings were hindered by Sowore's absence and lack of legal representation, leading to adjournments. Femi Falana, Sowore's lead lawyer, urged the court to disregard a letter requesting an adjournment.
The court fixed a new date for the case amid procedural challenges.
