Sowore was arrested alongside four protesters during a #CrossOverProtest held on the eve of new year in Abuja.

After spending four days in police detention, the protesters were arraigned before the Wuse Zone 2 court by police on Monday on charges of unlawful assembly, criminal conspiracy and inciting public disturbance.

In her judgement on Monday, Taye Maibel ordered that the accused be transferred to Kuje Correctional Prison detention till Tuesday when the court will hear the bail application.
