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.
