A Federal High Court in Abuja has revoked the bail granted to activist and publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, and ordered his arrest over his absence at the hearing of his ongoing trial.

Justice Mohammed Umar issued the order on Tuesday following an oral application by counsel to the Department of State Services (DSS), Akinkolu Kehinde (SAN).

The court also issued a bench warrant for Sowore’s arrest.

The court was informed that the defendant had sent a letter requesting an adjournment of the proceedings.

Counsel to the DSS opposed the application, arguing that no satisfactory reason was provided for the request.
