Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), claims that his current prosecution is politically motivated. He argues that he is being targeted for opposing corruption, according to ThisDay Live.

The Federal High Court in Abuja has scheduled a ruling for June 30 on a motion filed by Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), regarding the revocation of his bail. As a result, Sowore will remain in custody until that date.

Former presidential candidate Peter Obi has raised alarms regarding the remand of activist and publisher Omoyele Sowore, labeling it a threat to Nigeria's democracy. His comments came after a ruling by the Federal High Court in Abuja, where Justice Mohammed Umar ordered Sowore's remand in Kuje Prison pending further proceedings.

The Centre for Public Integrity has criticized Omoyele Sowore for his remarks against the Department of State Services (DSS), highlighting ongoing reforms within the agency. The group recalled Sowore's previous detention and questioned his political motives in making such statements, particularly regarding his comments on Kuje prison, which they assert is not a hotel.

Mr. Paul Ibe, Media Adviser to Atiku Abubakar, has called for President Bola Tinubu's resignation, citing the government's inability to effectively tackle insecurity in Nigeria. Ibe made these remarks during an appearance on Arise Television’s Prime Time programme, emphasizing that addressing security issues is a fundamental duty of any government.

The Federal High Court in Abuja has scheduled a ruling for June 30, 2026, regarding Omoyele Sowore's application to restore his bail and overturn a bench warrant issued against him. The matter was adjourned by Justice Mohammed Umar after the involved parties presented their arguments.
