Sowore Rejects Police Bail Conditions, Remains In Custody

SOWORE 2

Omoyele Sowore, a former African Action Congress presidential candidate, has rejected what he described as a stringent bail condition offered to him by the Nigeria Police Force on Monday.

The police had invited Sowore to its headquarters in Abuja following his confrontation with some of its officers on the Lagos Airport Road.

The police said the invitation, dated January 23, 2025, was in connection with allegations of “resisting and obstructing public officers, disobedience to lawful order, acts intended to cause grievous harm or prevent arrest, compelling action by intimidation, reckless and negligent acts, refusal to assist public servant, and cyberstalking.”

The invitation letter, signed by Ibitoye Rufus Alajide, requested Sowore to report to the Force Intelligence Department (FID) at 10 a.m. on January 27.

But in a tweet on his X handle, hours after he honoured the invitation, the activist said the police forcerequested that he deposit his international passport and provide a level 17 civil servant as a guarantor for bail.

Sowore, however, said he rejected the conditions and opted to remain in police custody.

“I have rejected a bail condition asking me to present a level 17 permanent secretary. Instead, I have offered to remain in police custody pending when the joke is over,” he posted.

It could be recalled that the police action followed a video posted by Sowore on January 9, in which he confronted some officers for blocking the Airport Road.

In the video, some gun-wielding policemen directed the vehicle conveying Sowore to park.

The activist declined the order and said it was wrong for the police to block an airport road.
