Sowore Remanded in Kuje Prison, Vows to Continue Activism

Omoyele Sowore, a human rights activist and President of the African Action Congress, has been ordered to be remanded in Kuje Prison until Wednesday by Justice Moham Umar of the Federal High Court Abuja. This decision follows the revocation of Sowore's bail last week.

Justice Umar dismissed Sowore's application requesting the judge to step down from the case, which involves allegations against him regarding public remarks that allegedly referred to President Bola Tinubu as a criminal. Despite his detention, Sowore has vowed to continue mobilizing the public and insists that his imprisonment will not deter his political movement.

He stated that some sacrifices are necessary for the benefit of the country and urged Nigerians to remain resolute in their quest for genuine revolution against oppression and injustice. Sowore's recent absence from court triggered the bail revocation, although his new lead counsel, Olumide Fusika, formally informed the court of his legal consultations.
