A Federal High Court in Abuja has granted bail of N10 million each to ten members of the #EndBadGovernance protests, who are charged with attempting to overthrow President Bola Tinubu between August 1 and 4 of this year.
In his ruling on the bail applications, Justice Emeka Nwite specified that the protesters must provide sureties who are property owners in Abuja and must submit the property documents to the court, along with an affidavit of means.
Additionally, the court ordered that each defendant produce a surety based in Abuja who must deposit their international passport and three recent passport photographs with the court.
Justice Nwite rejected the objections from the Inspector General of Police against the bail applications but prohibited the defendants from participating in any public rallies during their trial.
The judge also directed that the defendants be held in prison custody until their bail conditions are met.
The accused are alleged to have committed treason during their one-week nationwide protests by allegedly waging war against Nigeria. The court has scheduled the trial to begin on September 27.
