A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja and presided over by Justice Emeka Nwite on Wednesday, granted 10 #EndBadGovernance protesters bail.

This is coming after they were arrested and detained for treason among others by the Nigerian authorities.

They were granted bail in the sum of N10m each and one surety in like sum.

Delivering judgement, Justice Emeka Nwite ruled that Nigeria’s criminal justice system has its stipulations for the prosecutor and the defendant.

Justice Nwite, agreed with the argument of the 1st 2nd, and 4th defendants’ counsel, Abubakar Marshall, “that anybody charged with a criminal offence must be presumed innocent until proven guilty”.

On this note, he granted the bail application of all ten defendants.

He said, “I have carefully considered the submission of the counsel on both divides. I hereby grant the defendants bail notwithstanding the crime.

“The bail is hereby granted to the defendants applicant in the sum of N10m each and one surety in like some”.
