Activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has been granted bail after he engaged with the Force Intelligence Department of the Nigeria Police Force in Abuja on Monday.

Sowore was at the office of the force to address several allegations, including resisting and obstructing public officers, disobedience to lawful orders, cyberstalking and acts allegedly intended to prevent arrests.

The activist, who promised to refuse any bail conditions that he deems compromising to his “innocence, dignity, and integrity,” said he's being targetted for criticising the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Egbetokun Kayode.

He also accused the police of nursing plans “to detain me and take me to Lagos for a kangaroo trial.”

In a post on X, Sowore revealed that the Deputy Inspector-General of the FID, Dasuki Galandachi, informed him of the bail offer pending the conclusion of an “investigation.”

He wrote, “The DIG of FID, Dasuki Galandachi, at the Nigeria Police Force in Abuja, had just informed me that he has instructed his personnel to grant me bail, pending the conclusion of the “investigation”.

“I have also advised the DIG that in accepting “bail”, I will not agree to conditions that compromise my innocence, dignity, and integrity.

“If such unreasonable conditions are imposed, I will choose to remain in detention until I am charged to court, even then I know that there is no crime defined or to be investigated it is just the impunity that has become the hallmark of the PoliceNG hierarchy.”
