Sowore’s Legal Hurdle: 24 Hours to Meet Bail Conditions, Passport Confiscated
On January 30, 2025, the Federal High Court in Abuja granted Omoyele Sowore, a human rights activist and former presidential candidate, bail set at ₦10 million. The court mandated that Sowore meet the bail conditions within 24 hours and ordered the seizure of his international passport.
Sowore has publicly condemned the bail conditions, particularly the requirement to surrender his passport, describing it as an attack on his liberty.
As of now, it remains unclear whether Sowore has complied with the bail conditions or if he intends to challenge them further.
