Nigerians have expressed outrage over the arraignment of seventy-six suspects, including thirty-two minors, before Justice Obiora Egwuatu at the Abuja division of the Federal High Court for participating in the EndBadGovernance protests in August.
Civil society groups and rights activists slammed the police and the government over the matter.
The defendants, who have been in detention for three months, were arrested in the Federal Capital Territory (Abuja); as well as Kaduna,
Gombe, Jos, Katsina, and Kano states and they were arraigned by the Inspector General of Police on ten counts bordering on treason, intent to destabilize Nigeria and inciting to mutiny by calling on the military to take over the government from President Bola Tinubu, among others.
