A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has adjourned hearing on the enforcement of fundamental rights suit of activists, Omoyele Sowore and Olawale Bakare, to September 25, 2020 for hearing.
But upon arrival at the court on Friday, the officials told the lawyer to the activists, Abubakar Marshal, that the judge would not be able to hear the case despite the fact that it was listed among matters to be heard for the day. Recall that the appeal filed by the activists challenging their bail conditions is still pending before the Appeal Court following the refusal of the court to hear the case on Wednesday.
Also, the trial judge, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, had refused to fix a date for the continuation of the trial since the COVID-19 lockdown stalled the matter. Sowore was arrested in the early hours of August 3, 2019 by operatives of the Department of State Services for calling on Nigerians to take to the streets in peaceful demonstrations on August 5 to demand a better country from the administration of President Buhari.
