The Federal High Court in Abuja has revoked the bail granted to the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, after he failed to appear for his trial.

Justice Mohammed Garba Umar gave the ruling on Tuesday and issued a warrant directing the Police and the Department of State Services (DSS) to arrest the defendant.

During the proceedings, prosecution counsel, Kehinde Akinlolu (SAN), told the court that Sowore failed to appear despite being aware of the hearing date.

He urged the court to revoke the defendant’s bail, alleging that Sowore had continued to delay the trial.

Justice Umar noted that although Sowore had written to the court requesting an adjournment, the letter did not provide any reason for the request.

The judge subsequently revoked the bail and adjourned the case until June 22, 2026, for hearing.
