Court Orders Sowore to Remain in Custody as Bail Decision Shifts to June 30
The AAC presidential candidate will remain in custody pending a court ruling scheduled for June 30.
The Federal High Court has ordered that the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, remain in custody pending a ruling on matters relating to his bail application, which has been fixed for June 30.
Proceedings in the case resulted in an adjournment to June 30, with the court declining requests seeking Sowore’s release pending the ruling.
According to reports from the proceedings, the defence team sought his release to his legal representatives while awaiting the court’s decision. However, the request was opposed by the prosecution and was subsequently not granted.
The development means Sowore will remain in custody until the court determines the pending application before it. The adjournment keeps attention focused on the legal process as both parties await the next stage of proceedings.
The court fixed June 30 for its ruling and ordered that Sowore remain in custody pending that decision.
As of the latest court proceedings, Sowore remains in custody while parties await the ruling scheduled for June 30.
