Justice Musa Suleiman Liman of the Federal High Court in Abuja has granted bail to Omoyele Sowore, the former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), in the amount of N10 million with one surety of the same amount.

The court also ruled that the surety must have verified landed property in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and the applicant must deposit his passport with the court and provide an affidavit of means.

Sowore, who has been undergoing legal proceedings, was initially required to meet the bail conditions within a set timeframe. However, the court granted him a 24-hour extension to fulfill the terms.

The former African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate is facing 16 cybercrime charges filed by the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun, following his reference to the police chief as an “Illegal IG.”
