A court sitting in Abuja has ordered the release the convener of #RevolutionNow protest, Mr. Omoyele Sowore, from the custody of the Department of State Service immediately.

The presiding judge said, after his release, Falana should produce Sowore for arraignment whenever he is required.
However, Justice Taiwo said, since charges had already been filed against the activist, he must deposit his passport and other travel documents to guarantee his availability for trial.
