Senator Shehu Sani and Professor Wole Soyinka and spared a moment to exchange banters on Wednesday while waiting in the courtroom at the Federal High Court Abuja for the trial of Omoyele Sowore.

Mr Sowore, the convener of RevolutionNow movement, is standing trial on a seven-count charge of treasonable felony, fraud, cyberstalking and insulting President Muhammadu Buhari.

Mr Soyinka and Mr Sani were among the dignitaries who attended the Wednesday court session to show solidarity with Mr Sowore.

While waiting for Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu to step into the courtroom on Wednesday for the day’s proceedings to begin, the two men took some time to poke fun at each other.

“Just arrived the Federal High Court venue of the Sowore trial. And Professor Soyinka was quick to say…. “Aha, here comes another Criminal like Sowore,” Mr Sani tweeted around 10:02 a.m. on Wednesday.

“And I said “sir you are the patron of the Criminals club.”

Shehu Sani posted on Twitter a video of his exchange with Mr Soyinka.
