JUST IN: Judge Orders FG To Pay N200,000 To Sowore, Bakare

The federal government of Nigeria has been ordered by justice Ijeoma Ojukwu of the Federal High Court in Abuja to pay N200,000 each to Omoyele Sowore and Olawale Bakare, who are both standing trial in a case brought against them by the DSS.

The Judge’s action was necessitated by the prosecution’s sloppy showing on Wednesday where A. Aliyu standing in for the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), tried to slow down proceedings and further delay the commencement of the trial proper by making several false statements.
