The Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday slammed N10 million bail each on the ten members of the #endbadgovernance# protesters who were charged with attempting to overthrow President Bola Ahmed Tinubu between July 1 and August 4 this year. Justice Emeka Nwite admitted them to bail while delivering a ruling on their bail applications.
Among others, the protesters are to produce one surety each in the same amount while the sureties must be residents in Abuja. Besides, the sureties must be property owners in Abuja and must deposit documents of the properties to the court in addition to swearing an affidavit of means. Also, both the defendants and the sureties must deposit their international passports and three recent passport photographs with the court.
The accused persons were said to have committed the treasonable offence during their one-week nationwide protests when they allegedly levied war against Nigeria. The offences were said to be contrary to sections 96, 410 and 413 of the Penal Code. The Inspector General of Police, IGP, who brought the charges against them alleged that the accused persons broke into the Abacha Army Barracks and openly called on the military to take over the constitutional government of President Tinubu.
