The Federal Government has arraigned Omoyele Sowore and four others at the Magistrate Court in Wuse Zone 2, Abuja, the nation’s capital.

He is being arraigned alongside four others by the Federal Government on three charges of criminal conspiracy, unlawful assembly, and attempting to incite others.

Sowore was arrested by the police for leading a protest against bad governance on New Year’s Eve in Abuja.

He was arraigned alongside, Juwon Sanyaolu, Damilare Adenola, Peter and Kimrere.

However, they all pleaded not guilty to the charges leveled against them.

The Prosecution, however, alleged that the defendants were arrested on New Year eve with placards calling for a violent revolution against President Muhammadu Buhari.

Sowore on his twitter page wrote, “We have been sent to The infamous Kuje Prison for the next 24 hours while they plot their next moves. But we are very resolute and convinced that this year will be different for the tyrant! #RevolutionNow”
