The Federal High Court in Abuja has granted bail to 10 #EndBadGovernance protesters, each set at N10 million, with a requirement of one surety in like sum.
The defendants had been charged with treason and other related offenses.
Justice Emeka Nwite, presiding over the case, accepted the bail applications, which were argued by the defense counsel.
As part of the bail conditions, Justice Nwite ordered that each surety must own landed property in Abuja and present the property documents to the court’s registrar.
The protesters, including Michael Adaramoye, also known as Lenin; Adeyemi Abayomi; Suleiman Yakubu; and seven others, were arraigned on September 2 by the Federal Government.
The charges, filed on August 30 by the Inspector-General of Police under case number FHC/ABJ/CR/454/2024, included treason, conspiracy to commit a felony, incitement to mutiny, and intent to destabilize the nation.
These charges fall under Section 97 of the Penal Code.
The case stems from a nationwide protest held between August 1 and 10, where youths demonstrated against economic hardship.
The protests escalated into violence in some areas, leading to incidents of looting and vandalism.
All 10 defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges.
