Sowore and Olawale Bakare, his co-defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The former charges bordering on fraud, cyber-stalking and insulting the president have been removed from the new list.
According to the charge, the accused staged a “revolution campaign on 5th day of August 2019, tagged #RevolutionNow” aimed at removing the president during his term of office by unconstitutional means.
