President of Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, Apostle Johnson Suleman, says he is considering standing as a surety for detained activist, Omoyele Sowore.

Mr Sowore, convener of #RevolutionNow protest, is in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) on charges of treasonable felony and other sundry offences.

Suleman, however, in a tweet on Monday said he was worried that Sowore had not found sureties.

“I’m really worried that nobody is ready to stand surety for @YeleSowore. Yes, he has hurt a lot of people, me inclusive. But do we focus on that and let him rot where he? In a situation like this, what will Christ do? I’m ‘considering’ standing bail for him,” he wrote.

A Federal High Court in Abuja had on October 21 reduced Sowore’s bail conditions which earlier required two sureties with N100 million each and deposit of N50 million as security.

Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu waived the earlier requirement of N50 million security deposit but ruled that all other conditions should remain.

Sowore and co-defendant, Olawale Bakare, are charged with seven counts of treasonable felony and other sundry offences instituted against them by the Federal Government.
