The court stipulated bail conditions requiring each defendant to pay N500,000, submit their verified National Identification Number (NIN), provide three-year tax clearance certificates, and surrender passports to the registrar.
Sowore, a former presidential candidate and advocate for Kanu’s release, had been arrested by the police after allegedly leading protesters into a restricted area, violating an existing court order.
“Sowore has been arrested by the Nigeria Police Force…every one of them mentioned that one Sowore led them into the restricted area in contravention of the court order. And that’s why, in the spirit of fair play…Sowore was arrested today,” said Force PRO Benjamin Hundeyin.
