Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Leader and convener of #Revolution Now\u201d, Omoyele Sowore is to be arraigned afresh on alleged treasonable felony today, November 22 at the Federal High Court in Abuja.<\/p>\n

Sowore is to be put on fresh trial by the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, and Minister of Justice on behalf of the Nigeria government in a charge marked ABJ\/CR\/CS\/365\/19.<\/p>\n

A document just stumbled upon by DAILY POST indicated that the alleged revolutionist would take his fresh plea before Justice Obiora Egwuatu this morning.<\/p>\n

Our correspondent gathered that Sowore is being arraigned afresh following the transfer of the former trial Judge, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu to Calabar in Cross Rivers State.<\/p>\n

At the time of this report, the court room has been jam-packed by a retinue of his sympathizers.<\/p>\n

Details later.<\/p>\n
