Human rights activists Femi Falana (SAN), and representative of embattled #RevolutionNow convener, Omoyele Sowore and co-defendant, Olawale Bakare has said both men will be freed on Wednesday.
Falana revealed to the court on Wednesday that their bail conditions have been met.
”I have already explained to the learned prosecuting counsel that we are encumbered by the refusal of the State Security Service to allow us to prepare for the defence of the defendants.
“I had already asked my learned counsel for the prosecution , that we are confident that the defendants will be freed today ( Wednesday) from the custody of the SSS having met the bail conditions imposed on them by this honourable court .
“Once they are liberated from the custody of the SSS, we will be in a position to take full instruction from them.”
Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika (SAN), appearing for the second defendant at the Wednesday’s proceedings, confirmed the development also.
However, the prosecuting counsel, Mr. Hassan Liman (SAN), opposed the application for adjournment on the grounds that the charges were filed and served on the defendants since September 20th.
Liman said the defendants had “ ample time and opportunity to prepare for their defence ”
