The Federal High Court in Abuja has set a bail bond of N10 million for each of the 114 protesters, both adults and minors, accused of arson against police stations, the High Court Complex, and the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) Complex during the End Bad Governance protests. This totals an impressive N1,140,000,000, and the defendants are required to present two sureties with equivalent financial backing. Justice Obiora Egwatu granted this bail on Friday after considering arguments from the defense lawyers as well as representatives from the Inspector General of Police (IGP). Additionally, reports from Nairametrics indicate that these individuals are part of a larger group facing legal scrutiny. They join ten other defendants in a separate case (suit number FHC/ABJ/CR/454/2024) in another court. These ten have been accused of colluding with a British national, Andrew Martin Wynne, to undermine Nigeria’s stability and intimidate President Bola Tinubu by allegedly attacking police officers and setting fire to multiple public facilities, including police stations, the High Court Complex, and the NCC Complex, among others.
