BREAKING: COURT STRIKES OUT CHARGES AGAINST 119 #ENDBADGOVERNANCE PROTESTERS
On Tuesday, 119 #EndBadGovernance protesters were charged with crimes that were later dropped by the Federal High Court in Abuja.
On Friday, November 1, the 119 demonstrators were all arraigned on counts that included encouraging mutiny and treason, among other offences.
The last session involved the arraignment of the defendants in two batches.
There were 76 demonstrators in the first group, including 32 children, and 43 protesters in the second batch.
After the attorney asked M. D. Abubakar, the Attorney General of the Federation, to take over and end the case, the trial judge, Justice Obiora Egwuatu, struck out the lawsuit.
