The Federal High Court in Abuja has granted Whistleblower Isaac Bristol, also known as PIDOMNIGERIA, bail.
This was announced by the 2019 and 2023 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, in a short post on his X handle.
Recall that the court had, on the 11 of September 2024, postponed his bail hearing to the 27th of this month.
His lawyer, Deji Adeyanju had confirmed the postponement in a WhatsApp message.
“The court granted bail to the protesters, but moved Bristol’s bail application to the 27th of this month,” Adeyanju said.
Bristol, after his arrest by the police in August 2024, was charged with nine counts, which included terrorism, money laundering, cybercrime, and evidence tampering.
The charges are in connection to his whistleblowing activities, where he was alleged to operated the X handle of “@PIDOMNigeria,” exposing alleged misconduct in the country.
