In a significant development, the Federal High Court in Abuja has granted bail to 10 protesters who were detained for their involvement in the #EndBadGovernance protests last month.
The court’s decision has been hailed as a victory for justice and a blow to the Federal Government’s attempts to silence dissenting voices.
The protesters, who were facing treason-related charges, were granted bail in the sum of N10 million each, with additional conditions requiring a surety with property in Abuja valued at the same amount and the surrender of their passports.
The court’s decision has sparked widespread relief, but also concerns about the fairness of the charges.
The protesters’ legal representatives argued that the charges lacked sufficient evidence and urged the Federal Government to reconsider its stance.
The case has sparked widespread outrage, with many calling for the release of the remaining 49 protesters who are still in custody at Kuje Correctional Centre.
The protesters’ lawyers have vowed to continue fighting for their clients’ rights and freedom.
The trial is set to commence on September 27, and many are eagerly awaiting the outcome. Will justice prevail, or will the Federal Government succeed in silencing the voices of dissent?
