The trial judge, Justice Musa Liman, ruling on the bail application, ordered Sowore to deposit his international passport with the court’s registrar.

The surety is expected to deposit the original documents of landed property and a passport photograph to the registrar of the court and the surety must be a responsible individual with landed property valued in like sum.

The judge, however, gave him 24 hours to perfect the bail conditions or be remanded by the police until the bail is perfected.

Recall, Sowore had honoured the police invitation on Monday, January 27, 2025, when he was questioned at the Force Criminal Investigation Department.

He was subsequently granted administrative bail but rejected the conditions of bail and remained in custody.

The police later filed a 16-count charge of cybercrime against him.

In count three, the police said Sowore on December 20, 2024, through his X handle, called the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, the illegal IG of the Nigeria Police Force.

The police also alleged that Sowore, through his X handle, said, IGP Kayode Egbetokun will destroy the Nigeria police if we don’t act now.

He pleaded not guilty to 16 count charge of alleged cybercrime.
