An Abuja Federal High Court has granted bail in the sum of N10 million each to 67 minors who are among #EndBadGovernance protesters arraigned on Friday.
Justice Obiora Egwuatu, while granting bail to the minors who are below 15 years, said they are expected to present one surety who must be a civil servant.
They were arrested and detained during the August 1 to 10, 2024, nationwide protest in the country which was sparked by widespread economic hardship that led many Nigerians to take to the streets to express their grievances.
Meanwhile, another 87 who are adults, are currently being arraigned on the same charges.
The protesters are facing a 10-count charge bordering on alleged treason, as well as conspiracy to commit felony with intent to destabilize Nigeria, an offence contrary to Section 96, and punishable under Section 97, of the Penal Code Act.
