A Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a no-case submission filed by Omoyele Sowore, the publisher of Sahara Reporters, who is standing trial for allegedly making a false claim against President Bola Tinubu.
Dateline Nigeria reports that the Department of State Services (DSS) had at the last sitting four days ago asked the court to dismiss Sowore’s application.
The DSS’ counsel, Akinlolu Kehinde (SAN), told Justice Mohammed Umar that the prosecution, through its witnesses, had been able to establish a prima facie case against the defendant.
Kehinde said in advancing their argument, the DSS filed its response to Sowore’s application on April 23.
He urged the court to refuse Sowore’s request and order him to enter his defence.
