Judge lowers protesters’ bail from N10 million to N5 million in EndBadGovernance

Five demonstrators for #EndBadGovernance have been granted a modification in bail by a Federal High Court located in Abuja.
The court had earlier denied each of the ten protestors from the #endbadgovernance# movement N10 million in bail after they were accused of trying to topple President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Nevertheless, because the demonstrators were unable to fulfil their bail requirements, Justice Emeka Nwite lowered the penalty from N10 million to N5 million apiece in his order on Monday.

Some of the demonstrators were unable to obtain sureties with landed property in Abuja, according to the first, second, and fourth defendants’ attorneys, who testified in court.

The demonstrators also requested a modification of their bail, and the judge granted it, lowering their requirements to N5 million apiece.

One surety in like kind, who must be a close relative of the accused, is another need of the recently established criteria by the court.

In particular, he said, the sureties had to be a parent or parent figure, or another blood relative living in the jurisdiction in the event that neither parent could be reached.

Six allegations against the demonstrators include treason, inciting mutiny, conspiring to conduct a criminal, and trying to wreak chaos in Nigeria.
