The federal government has charged Omoyele Sowore for “conspiracy to commit treason”.
In the suit dated September 19 and filed at the federal high court in Abuja, the government accused Sowore of granting an interview which purpose caused insult on the person of the president of the country.
Sowore, presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) in the 2019 election, has been detained by the Department of State Services (DSS) since August.
The DSS had earlier accused him of threatening public peace with his planned #RevolutionNow protest
