Sowore Rejects Apostle Suleman’s Offer To Stand As Surety

Detained publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore has rejected the offer made by President of Omega Fire Ministries (OFM) Worldwide, Apostle Johnson Suleman, to stand as surety.

It would be recalled that the clergyman had posted on his Twitter handle on Monday that he was considering standing as surety for the activist even though he had hurt him in the past.

The legal team of Sowore, speaking through his lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, told newsmen that Suleman’s offer would not be considered because he was not eligible to stand surety for the detained activist as the court was clear that the surety must be resident in Abuja.

Effiong said Suleman’s offer cannot be considered nor accepted, adding that Suleman and Sowore had once had a public altercation, as a result, there is a conflict of interest.

So, we are turning it down and we are not even considering it. The way the Federal Government politicised the matter, made it difficult for the bail conditions to be met. But we are in the process of perfecting the bail

Sowore had in a report published through his platform, accused Suleman of engaging in extra-marital affairs with a woman known as Stephanie Otobo.

The activist, who is the Convener of #RevolutionNow, was arrested by the Department of State Services in August for allegedly trying to overthrow the President Muhammadu Buhari government.

The activist, who was the Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, has remained in the custody of the DSS ever since.
