Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday, granted ten protesters of EndBadGovernance who were arrested and detained for treason among others, to bail in the sum of N10m each and one surety in like sum.
Gatekeepers News reports that the presiding judge, Justice Emeka Neite while delivering the ruling, held that Nigeria’s criminal justice system has its stipulations for the prosecutor and the defendant.
The judge agreed with the argument of the 1st 2nd, and 4th defendants’ counsel, Abubakar Marshall, “that anybody charged with a criminal offence must be presumed innocent until proven guilty”.
Subsequently, Justice Nwite granted the bail application of all ten defendants.
