On Wednesday, the Federal High Court in Abuja granted bail to ten individuals involved in the #EndBadGovernance protests, setting the bail at N10 million each.

These protesters are facing serious charges of attempting to overthrow President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government, with allegations spanning from July 1 to August 4 this year.

Justice Emeka Nwite, who presided over the case, ruled in favor of granting bail during a session in which he evaluated the protesters’ applications.

According to the court’s conditions, each of the ten defendants is required to provide a surety, who must also post a N10 million bond.

The sureties are mandated to reside in Abuja and be property owners in the capital.

As part of the bail conditions, these property owners must submit their property documents to the court.

Additionally, the sureties will have to swear an affidavit of means, verifying their financial capacity.

Both the defendants and their respective sureties are also required to surrender their international passports and provide three recent passport-sized photographs to the court.

The Inspector General of Police (IGP) had opposed the bail application, arguing that the defendants posed a significant risk.

However, Justice Nwite dismissed these objections and approved the release of the protesters on bail.

He did, however, impose a restriction on the defendants, forbidding them from participating in any public demonstrations for the duration of their trial.

Until the bail conditions are fully met, the defendants will remain in prison custody. The court has scheduled September 27 as the start date for the trial.

The protesters stand accused of treasonous offenses, which allegedly occurred during a week-long series of demonstrations across the country.

According to the charges, the accused attempted to incite violence and rebel against the Nigerian state.

They are said to have made attempts to forcefully seize control of government institutions and called on the military to take over President Tinubu’s administration.

Their actions reportedly violated sections 96, 410, and 413 of the Penal Code.

The Inspector General of Police further alleged that the protesters unlawfully entered the Abacha Army Barracks, urging military personnel to overthrow the constitutional government.

The charges also detail violent acts, including the burning of a police station and attacks on law enforcement officers.

Beyond this, the protesters allegedly caused widespread destruction of public property, including damaging a high court complex, police facilities, and infrastructure owned by the National Communications Commission (NCC).

The individuals facing these charges are Michael Tobiloba Adaramoye, Adeyemi Abiodun Abayomi, Suleiman Yakubu, Opaluwa Eleojo Simon, Angel Love Innocent, Buhari Lawal, Mosiu Sadiq, Bashir Bello, Nurudeen Khamis, and Abduldalam Zubair.

Two years into his administration, President Tinubu highlights key achievements in Nigeria’s economy and social sectors. He reminds Nigerians of the tough choices made early on, like removing fuel subsidies and fixing foreign exchange policies, to stop the country from slipping into crisis. These bold moves have started to pay off.

Inflation is easing, staple food prices are dropping, and the oil sector is seeing renewed growth with billions invested. The government has improved revenue collection, narrowed the fiscal deficit, and built up reserves to protect Nigeria from shocks.

Tax reforms are helping small businesses and protecting low-income families by cutting VAT on essentials like food and education. The administration is also supporting new industries through targeted incentives and making trade easier and fairer.

On the social front, health services are expanding with thousands of primary health centers being upgraded and new cancer treatment centers opening. Free and subsidized medical care is reaching more Nigerians, while health insurance coverage grows steadily.

The president also points to progress in education, youth empowerment, and infrastructure development as the foundation for long-term growth. Despite challenges, these efforts show that Nigeria is moving in the right direction, building a stronger economy and better future for all its people.

Since taking office two years ago, President Tinubu has been clear that improving security and investing in the nation’s people are top priorities. He recognizes that without safety, the economy and daily life cannot thrive. His administration has worked hard to strengthen collaboration among security agencies, increase intelligence operations, and support the welfare of the military and police. According to him, it is thanks to these efforts, some regions once troubled by bandits have seen peace return, allowing farmers to get back to work and roads to become safer for travelers.

Beyond security, the government is focused on building a brighter future through education, healthcare, and youth empowerment. Investments in schools and student loans aim to give more Nigerians access to quality education. Health programs have upgraded thousands of primary health centers, introduced cancer treatment centers, and expanded health insurance coverage. The administration has also launched initiatives to create jobs, support small businesses, and encourage innovation—especially among young people eager to shape Nigeria’s tomorrow.

President Tinubu believes these steps are creating a foundation for lasting growth and opportunity. While challenges remain, the commitment to protecting citizens and developing human capital signals a hopeful path forward for Nigeria’s future.
