A High Court grants Nigerian activist Omoyele Sowore bail in an alleged cybercrime case, ordering ₦200 million bail. Multiple reports say the court sets specific conditions for the bail, including requirements for two sureties. One surety must be a traditional ruler from Sowore’s community, while the second surety must own landed property in Abuja. The reports also indicate that Sowore must comply with additional conditions linked to the court’s order, including submitting his passport. The decision comes amid ongoing legal proceedings related to the cybercrime allegations, with one outlet describing the hearing as a “final decision” after a period of tension in court. The bail terms aim to ensure Sowore’s appearance at subsequent stages of the case. The sources do not indicate the merits of the allegations or any change in the underlying charges. The case therefore continues following the bail ruling, with Sowore released only if the bail conditions are met as ordered by the court.
