The Federal Government has arraigned Omoyele Sowore and four
others at the Magistrate Court in Wuse Zone 2, Abuja, the nation’s capital.
Sowore was arrested by the police for leading a protest
against bad governance on New Year’s Eve in Abuja.
He is being arraigned alongside four others by the Federal
Government on three charges of criminal conspiracy, unlawful assembly, and
attempting to incite others.
They all pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The Prosecution, however, alleged that the defendants were
arrested on New Year eve with placards calling for a violent revolution against
President Muhammadu Buhari.
Sowore had earlier before the protest charged Nigerians on
Twitter to hold a crossover protest by picking up a candle and a placard
showing their grievances against the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.
This is not the first time Sowore will be arrested. He was
detained for over 100 days in 2019 for calling for a #RevolutionNowProtest.
