Sowore has hurt many people including me, but he need our help — Suleman begs Nigerians

Apostle Johnson Suleman has lamented the continued detention of Omoyele Sowore, co-convener of the RevolutionNow Movement by the Department of State Services DSS.

The cleric said that even though the activist had offended many people including him, but he has forgiven him and he is considering to stand as his surety to perfect his bail.



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

His counsel, Femi Falana, had approached the court seeking a variation to the previous bail conditions which he said could not be met.

However, Justice Ijeoma O


jukwu, the judge presiding over the case, says she is concerned that the activist has not meet the bail conditions granted to him.

Ijeoma, while ruling on the application for variation of the bail conditions on Monday, said: “Considering the pedigree of the first defendant as observed in his application, it is rather unfortunate that no one is willing to stand as his surety on those terms.


“On the other hand, it creates an assumption that despite the pedigree of the first defendant, none of his best associates is willing to stand for him. This poses a cause for concern.”

However, Suleman, in a tweet wrote: “Am really worried that nobody is ready to stand surety for @YeleSowore.. yes he has hurt a lot of people, me inclusive.
