According to a report by Daily Post Nigeria, the trial of Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), faced an unexpected delay on Thursday. The cause for the stall was Sowore’s absence and a letter he submitted requesting an adjournment. The trial, which centers around allegations of cyberbullying against President Bola Tinubu, was set to continue at a Federal High Court in Abuja. Prosecuting lawyer, Akinlolu Kehinde, SAN, had appeared before the court, but the proceedings were postponed due to Sowore’s absence and the submission of his adjournment request. The specific reasons for Sowore’s absence and the contents of his letter were not disclosed in the report. The trial, which has attracted significant attention due to its high-profile nature, will resume at a later date. The development underscores the ongoing legal battle between Sowore and Tinubu, with the former alleging cyberbullying and the latter yet to respond publicly. It remains to be seen how this latest development will impact the outcome of the trial.
