Sowore and four others are being arraigned on three charges of criminal conspiracy, unlawful assembly, and attempting to incite others.
Sowore had before the protest charged Nigerians on Twitter to hold a crossover protest by picking up a candle and a placard showing their grievances against the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.
“How about a CrossOver Protest/Uprising tonight? Anyone willing to participate?” he posted on his official Twitter account.
Sowore has had several brushes with the law in recent times. He is still serving bail conditions for threatening to sack the Muhammadu Buhari led federal government with his ‘Revolution Now’ protest of 2019.
He was detained for over 100 days in 2019.
