Human rights activist and presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore in his reaction after being granted a ₦200 million bail by the Federal High Court in Abuja, said the authorities have always been after his passport.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Sowore has temporarily returned to the Kuje Correctional Centre till he perfects the conditions for his release.
Justice Mohammed Umar admitted the activist to bail under stringent conditions, which require two sureties including a traditional ruler from his home community and an Abuja property owner, alongside an order to deposit his international passport.
Sowore has been in custody since June 22, 2026, over allegations that he referred to President Bola Tinubu as a criminal.
“There is no force on earth that can stop this revolution,” Sowore stated after he left the courtroom.
He added, “We warned them, but they didn’t listen. I was granted ₦200 million bail. They have always been after my passport. When we get to that bridge, we will cross it.”
