Justice Mohammed Garba Umar of the Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed the no-case submission made by activist, Omoyele Sowore, in the cyberbullying charge brought against him by the Department of the State Services, DSS.
DSS had charged Sowore for cyberbullying President Bola Tinubu.
The court upheld the DSS charges against Sowore for allegedly calling Tinubu a “criminal” in his Twitter handle and ordered him to enter his defense. 
Justice Umar dismissed the no case submission on Friday while ruling on the application made by the activist.
Sowore had filed the no case submission and prayed the court to discharge and acquit him from the two-count charge.
In the ruling, Justice Umar held that the DSS had successfully linked Sowore with the alleged offences, adding that a prima facie case had been established against him to warrant him to enter a defense.
