BREAKING: Court remands #EndBadGovernance protesters in Kuje prison
Some of the #EndBadGovernance protesters have been remanded in Kuje Correctional Centre after being charged with treason.
Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja ordered their remand pending the hearing and ruling on their bail application slated for September 11, 2024.
This followed the arraignment of the protesters for alleged treason, mutiny and intent to destabilise Nigeria.
The ten persons who were arraigned before Justice Emeka Nwite are Michael Adaramoye also known as Lenin, Adeyemi Abayomi, Suleiman Yakubu, Opaoluwa Simon, and Angel Innocent.
Others are Buhari Lawal, Mosiu Sadiq, Bashir Bello, Nuradeen Khamis, and Abdulsalam Zubairu.
The defendants who all pleaded not guilty were arraigned on six counts of alleged treason, intent to destabilise Nigeria, conspiracy to commit felony and inciting to mutiny which is an offence punishable under Section 97 of the Penal Code.
The defendants are equally accused of levying war against the state to intimidate President Bola Tinubu by attacking and injuring police officers and burning police stations, government buildings and private buildings.
The government also named a British citizen, Andrew Wynne (also known as Andrew Povich), as a defendant in the case.
