The applicant has also filed a 16-paragraph affidavit deposed to by Sunday Agabi, and we rely on the arguments within. We urge your lordship to grant our application.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Abubakar further argued that the court has the discretion to grant bail regardless of the complainant\u2019s arguments.<\/p>\n<p>However, prosecution counsel, Udey Jonathan, opposed the application, urging the court to deny Sowore bail.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy lord, a counter-affidavit deposed to by one Friday Ameh, a police intelligence officer, has been filed against the bail application,\u201d Udey said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe seek reliance on all paragraphs of our counter-affidavit and have filed a written address in support, dated January 29, 2025. We adopt the written address as our oral submission against the bail application and urge the honourable court to dismiss it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He further argued, \u201cBail cannot be handed out like candy; it should not be granted in vacuo. While bail is at the court\u2019s discretion, it is not a state of grace. If the court decides to grant bail, it should impose stringent terms to ensure the defendant\u2019s appearance for trial, including the submission of his international passport.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After considering arguments from both sides, Justice Liman adjourned the ruling to Thursday at 1 pm.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Sowore will remain in police custody until the ruling is delivered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sowore is facing 17 counts of cybercrime charges brought against him by the Nigerian Police Force The Federal High Court in Abuja has adjourned ruling on the bail application of former presidential candidate and activist Omoyele Sowore to Thursday.
