The Federal Capital Territory, FCT Police Command has arrested one Barrister Abubakar Marshall, a lawyer to human rights activist, Mr Omoyele Sowore, for failing to produce his client after bail.
Sources gathered that Sowore, the publisher of SaharaReporters was on February 24, 2022 arrested by the police following an alleged publication of false news against a former House of Representatives member, Prince Ned Nwoko.
Nwoko had petitioned the Nigeria Police Force against Sowore over alleged criminal defamation, injurious falsehood publication of news known to be false contrary to section 391, 392, 393, 394, 395, and 418 of the Penal code of Northern Nigeria.
Sowore was, however, granted an administrative bail through his lawyer Abubakar Marshall but failed to return to the police afterwards.
