A Nigerian court has postponed its decision regarding bail for Omoyele Sowore, a prominent activist, until June 30th. Sowore’s bail was initially revoked on June 16th following his absence from a court hearing related to charges of cybercrime and defamation. Authorities ordered his arrest after the revocation. The current delay extends uncertainty regarding Sowore’s pre-trial detention. The charges stem from allegations concerning online activity and statements made by the activist. The court’s ruling will determine whether Sowore remains in custody while awaiting trial or is released on bail. Vanguard News reported the postponement.
