CITIZENS COMPASS–The Federal Government of Nigeria on Monday, arraigned 10 #EndBadGovernance protesters for treason.

Recall that they were arrested in Abuja, Kaduna, Kano and Gombe for demanding for good governance during a protest tagged #EndBadGovernance in August 2024.
They were arraigned for trumped-up charges bordering on treasonable felony before a Federal High Court in Abuja, as the government charged the #EndBadGovernance protesters for treason.
The defendants while taking their pleas before the presiding judge, Justice Emeka Nwite, pleaded not guilty to the six counts filed against them.
The defendants were brought to the court amidst tight security.
Their solicitors were in court with them to defend the #EndBadGovernance protesters for treason.
Abubakar Marshal is appearing for 1st-4th defendants, Hamza is appearing for the 5th defendant, Deji Adeyanju is appearing for the 6th-8th defendants while Ahmed Abdulrahaman is appearing for the 9th defendant.
