The Federal Government on Monday arraigned the convener of #RevolutionNow Protest, Mr Omoyele Sowore, before a Federal High Court in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
Sowore, who is the publisher of an online news platform – Sahara Reporters, was arraigned alongside his co-defendant, Mr Olawale Bakare.
The duo were brought to the court by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS).
Sowore and Bakare are to face seven charges preferred against him by the Federal Government.
Among the charges are alleged conspiracy to commit treason, money laundering, and insulting the President.
The arraignment comes one week after Justice Taiwo Taiwo ordered the release of Mr Sowore, more than five days after a detention order the judge issued against him elapsed.
The DSS had withdrawn its application for extension of time.
