SOWORE DETENTION: Apostle Suleman Indicates Interest To Stand As Surety

Founder, Omega Fire Ministry, Apostle Johnson Suleman, says on Monday that despite being hurt by Omoyele Sowore, convener of #RevolutionNow Movement, he may stand as his surety.

In a tweet on Monday, the pastor expressed worry over the inability of Sowore to meet his bail conditions.

He said though the activist hurt him and many other people, the focus should be how to get him out of the “rot where he is”.

According to his tweet, the cleric said: “Am really worried that nobody is ready to stand surety for @YeleSowore.. yes he has hurt alot of people,me inclusive.

” But do we focus on that and let his rot where he is wvwn if he caused it in a situation like this what will christ do?.am ‘considering’ standing bail for him..,” he tweeted.

Sowore has been in custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) since August 3 when he was arrested in Lagos.

A federal high court in Abuja granted him bail of N100 million with two sureties in like sum, who must be resident in Abuja and have landed properties within the federal capital territory.

The court held that the sureties must deposit original documents of those properties in the court registry, and that one of them must deposit N50 million with the court pending the determination of the case.

Femi Falana, Sowore’s counsel, asked the court for a variation to the bail conditions which he said could not be met.
