The court granted bail to Sowore with N500,000 and two sureties, which his legal team was working to perfect before the former presidential aspirant was re–arrested.
Speaking to newsmen in Abuja shortly after the incident, human rights activist Deji Adeyanju accused the police of violently attacking and removing Sowore moments after his bail was granted.
According to him, over 50 armed officers stormed the court premises, descended on Omoyele, and took him away by force while refusing to present a valid remand order.
