Court

The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has adjourned the arraignment of former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, in the alleged forgery and public incitement case instituted against him by the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun.

Sowore, alongside his online platform, Sahara Reporters, is facing three counts marked FHC/ABJ/CR/374/2025, bordering on conspiracy, forgery of an official police wireless message, and false publication with intent to incite mutiny.

At the proceedings on Wednesday, the prosecuting counsel, Wisdom Madaki, informed the court that the second defendant, Sahara Reporters, had not yet been served with the charges

He explained that attempts to serve the online newspaper through conventional means had failed, and the prosecution was seeking to serve it by substituted means, specifically through newspaper publication. Punch
