Human rights activist and African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has regained his freedom after being released from the Kuje Correctional Centre in Abuja.
His release followed his fulfilment of the bail conditions imposed by the Federal High Court, which earlier admitted him to bail in the sum of ₦200 million in the cybercrime case against him.
Speaking shortly after leaving the correctional facility, Sowore said his detention had only strengthened his determination to continue fighting for justice.
“Leaving Kuje Prison after being unjustly incarcerated by the failed traitor to the Nigerian people, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and his regime.
Prison has never broken the resolve of those who fight for justice. If anything, it only strengthens our determination.
The struggle continues. We will never surrender. #RevolutionNow #Sowore2027,” he stated.
Sowore had been remanded in custody following a Federal High Court order pending the hearing of his bail application. The court subsequently granted him bail of ₦200 million with two sureties and ordered him to surrender his international passport as part of the conditions.
He is facing charges of alleged cybercrime and defamation over comments he made about President Bola Tinubu. Sowore has denied the allegations, insisting the case is politically motivated.
