Federal Court Grants N10 Million Bail to #EndBadGovernance Protesters Charged with Treason

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.
Their case remains a focal point of national attention as it raises concerns about the balance between civil protests and national security in Nigeria.
