Breaking: Sowore re-arraigned for treason
By Our Correspondent
Activist and convener of #RevolutionNow Movement, Omoyele Sowore, has been re-arraigned on Thursday by the Federal Government on a fresh two-count charge of treasonable felony.
The prosecution counsel, Aminu Alilu, asked that the previous seven-count charge, which was filed in September 2019, be substituted with the amended charge.
Both defendants, Sowore and Olawale Bakare, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The former charges bordering on fraud, cyber-stalking and insulting the president have been removed from the new list.
According to the charge, the accused staged a “revolution campaign on 5th day of August 2019, tagged #RevolutionNow” aimed at removing the president during his term of office by unconstitutional means.
