However, despite fulfilling the conditions, Sowore was apprehended again by police officers immediately after the court session and taken back to the Kuje Correctional Centre.
He is expected to be arraigned on Monday, October 27, on fresh charges connected to his comments on social media wherein he called President Bola Tinubu a criminal.
