After Sowore had pleaded not guilty to the charges against him, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, the trial judge ruled that the defendants should be remanded until Friday where it will rule on his bail application.

Recall that Sowore, addressing the Court through his counsel, Olumide Fusika SAN, initially declined to enter their plea argued that the Department of State Service, DSS, failed to comply with an order the court made for his immediate release.

Sowore further told to court that he was not duly served with a copy of the charge against him, insisting that he was denied access to his lawyers.
