Justice Obiora Egwuatu has granted bail to about 67 minors to the tune of N10m each out of the 76 that were arraigned for participating in the August 2024 End Bad Governance protests.

Those granted bail, who are below 15 years, are expected to present one surety who must be a civil servant.

Meanwhile, another 87 who are adults, are currently being arraigned on the same charges.

Those undergoing arraignment, are majorly from Kaduna State.

They are facing a ten-count charge bordering on alleged treason, and conspiracy to commit a felony with intent to destabilize Nigeria, which is contrary to section 96 and punishable under section 97 of the Penal Code Act.

The protesters who are mainly minors, looked malnourished as four of them were hurriedly rushed out of the courtroom as they couldn’t stand on their feet.

Looking very sickly, they wriggled in pain on the floor of the courtroom.

All seventy-six of them were arrested and detained during the August 1 to 10, nationwide protest in the country which was sparked by widespread economic hardship that led many Nigerians to take to the streets to express their grievances.

The 76 protesters were arrested in Abuja, Kaduna, Gombe, Jos, Katsina, and Kano and are being accused of treason among others.

The protesters are; Nura Ibrahim 24 years, Abdulbasi Abdusalami, 34years, Ahmed Yusuf 25 years, Awolu Abdulahi 21 years, Umar Musa 15 years, Muhammadu Mustapha 16 years, Umar Muhammed 23 years, Umar Inusa 18 years, Abdullahi Sani 21 years, Abba Usman 30 years, Ibrahim Rabiu 16 years, Abubakar San, 19 years, Abubakar Abdullahi 18 years, Amir Muhammed 17 years, Umar Ali 17 years, Saminu Sani 22 years, Muhammed Musa 14years, Suleiman Dauda 18 years, Ismail Abdullah 27 years and Haruna Suleiman 22 years.
