Quote:Judge Orders Nigerian Government To Pay N200,000 To Sowore, Bakare Over Trial Delay
Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu of the Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the Nigerian Government to pay N200,000 each to Omoyele Sowore and Olawale Bakare, who are both standing trial in a case brought against them by President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
Ojukwu’s action was necessitated by the prosecution’s sloppy showing on Wednesday where A. Aliyu standing in for the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), tried to slow down proceedings and further delay the commencement of the trial proper by making several false statements.

Soyinka, Shehu Sani in court for continuation of Sowore's trial (photos)
Continuation of the trial of #RevolutionNow convener, Omoyele Sowore and co-defendant Olawale Bakare today February 12, had some high profile guests as witnesses.
Nigerian Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka and former lawmaker representing Kaduna Central Senatorial district, Shehu Sani arrived the Federal High Court in Abuja, few minutes before Omoyele Sowore showed up.
Recall that the media personality who was arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS) on August 3 ahead of a nationwide protest, is standing trial on seven counts of treasonable felony, fraud, cyber-stalking and insulting the president.
Omoyele Sowore was released after spending 124 days in DSS custody, but was rearrested inside the federal high court barely 24 hours after his release. Following the outrage that trailed his rearrest, he was released on December 24, 2019.
