Justice Mohammed Garba Umar of the Federal High court, Abuja, has revoked the bail granted to presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore.
Sowore’s bail was revoked on Tuesday by Justice Umar, after he failed to appear in court for his trial.
During Tuesday’s proceedings, counsel for the prosecution, Kehinde Akinlolu, SAN, told the court that Sowore was absent from court despite being aware of the day’s hearing.
Akinlolu prayed the court for the revocation of Sowore’s bail for his failure to appear in court and his alleged continuous move to delay his trial.
Justice Umar acknowledged that although Sowore had sent a letter seeking an adjournment by the court, he did not state any reason for such adjournment in the letter.
He subsequently adjourned the case to June 22, 2026, for hearing.
