The Sahara Reporters publisher had skirmishes
with security agencies in Abuja when Muhammadu Buhari was president.
The Nigerian
government has dropped the treasonable felony charge preferred against Omoyele
Sowore, publisher of Sahara Reporters and proponent of the #RevolutionNow
Movement.
The decision to
discontinue the trial was communicated to the Federal High Court in Abuja by a
notice of discontinuance, dated February 14 and filed by Lateef Fagbemi,
Attorney General of the Federation (AGF).
Sowore and his
supporters that make up the #RevolutionNow movement had skirmishes with
security agencies in the country’s capital, Abuja during the Buhari era, as the
group called for accountable governance of the country.
In the course his trial
instituted in 2019, the Federal High Court issued him a restraining order
against his moving out of Abuja pending completion of the case.
