There are indications that convener of #RevolutionNow protest, Omoyele Sowore, would be re-arraigned, on Thursday, February 13, over fresh charges.
This was concluded after Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu adjourned the case following the resumption of Sowore’s trial, on Wednesday, at the Federal High Court, in Abuja.
The Prosecutor; Kayode Alilu, informed the court that the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) had taken over the prosecution of the case and has filed fresh and amended charges.
Alilu added that they were yet to effect service of the amended charges on the defendants.

He also said the office of the AGF took over the case late last year and applied to arraign the defendants based on the amended charges.
Justice Ojukwu then ordered the prosecution to pay a sum of N200, 000 as the cost to the defendants for the frivolous application for adjournment and adjourned till February 13.
Sowore and co-defendant, Olawale Bakare, are facing trial over charges of a treasonable felony for organising the revolution now protest on August 5, 2019, which the government saw as an attempt to disrupt peace in the country.
