BREAKING: Court dismisses Sowore’s no case submission in Tinubu cyberbullying trial
Justice Dismisses No-Case Submission in Cyberbullying Case Against Activist Sowore
Justice Mohammed Garba Umar of the Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a no-case submission filed by activist Omoyele Sowore in response to cyberbullying charges brought against him by the Department of State Services (DSS). The DSS accuses Sowore of cyberbullying President Bola Tinubu by labeling him a “criminal” on social media.
In a ruling delivered on Friday, Justice Umar upheld the charges, stating that the prosecution had established a prima facie case against Sowore, which necessitated his entering a defense. Sowore’s application sought to have the two-count charge against him dismissed.
Following the court’s ruling, Sowore is now required to respond to the allegations in further proceedings.
