ABUJA - Nigeria’s attorney general ordered the release on bail of an ex-presidential candidate and a former national security adviser, in recognition of court orders that they be released.
The move followed growing internal and international pressure on the Nigerian government to abide by court orders. “The two defendants are enjoined to observe the terms of their bail and refrain from engaging in any act that is inimical to public peace and national security as well as their ongoing trial which will run its course in accordance with the laws of the land,” Attorney General and Justice Minister Abubakar Malami said in a statement.
Video of Sowore screaming and shouting as he was wrestled to the ground by security officials in court, only hours after his initial release on bail, circulated widely on social media in Nigeria and internationally.
