Omoyele Sowore has rejected the Nigerian police bail conditions and opted to remain in custody.

The activist and former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) appeared at the Force Criminal Intelligence Department (FCID) in Abuja at 10 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 27, after he was summoned for questioning over a viral video in which he accused police officers at a checkpoint in Lagos of extortion.

Sowore was summoned to address multiple allegations, including resisting and obstructing public officers, disobedience to lawful orders, cyberstalking and actions allegedly intended to prevent arrests.

Subsequently, Sowore disclosed via his X handle that he had been granted administrative bail, which he vowed to reject because the conditions are “unreasonable.”
