Ten #EndBadGovernance protesters have been granted bail by a Federal High Court seating in Abuja.
The protesters who were accused of attempting to intimidate the administration of President Bola Tinubu, through alleged attacks on government infrastructure, were granted bail by Justice Emeka Nwite.
Recall that according to a charge sheet read to Michael Tobiloba Adaramoye and nine others at the Federal High Court, Abuja, on September 2, 2024, the ten Nigerians were accused of committing offenses during the nationwide #EndBadGovernance protest.
The ruling set the bail at N10 million for each of the defendants, bringing the total bail amount to N100 million. The decision followed a hearing on Wednesday, 11th of September 2024, the date earlier scheduled for the bail ruling.
During the proceedings, Justice Nwite concurred with the arguments presented by the defense team in support of their bail application. He granted each of the ten defendants a N10 million bail with one surety in like sum.
The court ruled that the sureties must possess landed properties within Abuja and are required to submit the property documents to the court as part of the bail conditions.
