A Federal High Court In Abuja has granted #10 million Bail to Olamide Thomas,who allegedly issued death threats to Seyi Tinubu ,The Inspector -General of Police Kayode Egbetokun and PPRO Muyiwa Adejobi via social media.
The court ruled that there was insufficient evidence to suggest that Thomas would Flee or interfere with her trial.
Thomas is required to provide a surety with an equivalent bond,tax clearance, and other documentation. Her case related to cybercrimes charges, will be heard on February 18.
It would be recalled that The same Federal High Court last year December 2024 Had refused to grant Bail to Olamide Thomas, A nurse and activist, while the trial judge adjourned the matter to 30th of December 2024 for commencement of trial. She was detained over her social remarks against the President Bola Tinubu,his son Seyi Tinubu and others.
In a similar development A Human Rights lawyer, Prof.Chidi Odinkalu described Thomas incarceration by the police as a brazen act of abuse of power and civic intimidation.
He said the idea that Thomas is intimidating the president’s son is nonsense.
Also a Human Rights group Youths Right Campaign (YRC) has come out to condemn the continued detention of the activist issuing out a statement by its National Secretary, Francis Nwapa, demanding the immediate release of Thomas. Nwapa noted ” A country where citizens are incarcerated for the pleasure of those assumed powerful is nothing but a slave cap, its captors should expect an imminent Revolution any time soon”.
” We at YRC celebrate the Courage of Nurse Abiodun Thomas And Demand Her Immediate & Unconditional Release’ .He noted.
