"Free SOWORE now!” Protesters camp outside Abuja Court demanding immediate release of AAC presidential candidate OMOYELE SOWORE (VIDEO)

Tuesday, June 30, 2026 - Nigerian youths have stormed the Federal High Court in Abuja demanding immediate release of the African Action Congress, AAC, presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore.

The protesters chant as they gather at the court premises on Tuesday before Sowore’s court proceedings.

Recall that the court had ordered the remand of Sowore in Kuje Correctional Centre, Abuja.

The Court fixed June 30, 2026 (today) for ruling on an application by Sowore, seeking the restoration of his bail and the setting aside of a bench warrant issued against him.

Justice Mohammed Umar adjourned the matter after parties adopted their processes in the application.

The protesters were heard singing, “Free Sowore now. We want a better Nigeria.”

They also told the security officers at the court entrance to be good citizens, saying they are looking for better Nigeria that their children would enjoy.
