The Federal High Court in Abuja, presided over by Justice Mohammed Umar, has denied a request from African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore to postpone his defence in a cyberbullying case brought against him by the Department of State Services (DSS). The court has ordered that proceedings continue on July 16.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

  • Defence Request: Sowore’s lawyer, Raphael Adakole, requested an adjournment until after the court’s annual vacation, citing the lead counsel’s absence from the country.

He argued that granting another two-month delay would contradict the court’s existing order for an accelerated, day-to-day hearing under the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015.

  • Witness Testimony: During the proceedings, defence witness Deji Adeyanju testified regarding statements allegedly made by President Tinubu during a visit to Benue State, in which the President reportedly affirmed the democratic right of citizens to criticise and insult him without fear of suppression.

  • Cross-Examination: During cross-examination, Adeyanju acknowledged his previous role as Sowore’s lawyer and conceded that President Tinubu’s alleged remarks did not suggest that the law should be ignored if an individual commits an actual offence.
