The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, has called for the case-file of the minors that were arraigned for participating in the EndBadGovernance protest.

The AGF, in a statement he made available to newsmen Friday night, ordered the Nigeria Police Force, NPF, to transfer the case-file to his office before Saturday.


He further directed the Director of Public Prosecution of the Federation (DPPF) to immediately put machinery in motion to ensure the matter which was adjourned till January next year, is brought forward.

The Justice Minister said there were issues that his office would need to look into to enable him make an informed decision regarding the trial of the defendants.

He, however, stressed that it was not within his powers to vary the court order that remanded the protesters in detention centers.

The statement, which was personally signed by the AGF, read: “It has just come to my notice that the police have arraigned those arrested in connection with the endbad governance violent protest in court for various offences including treason.

“There are some issues my office will need to look into regarding the matter to enable me take an informed decision.

“I am aware that the court has remanded the defendants in detention centres and adjourned the case to January.


“It is not within my power to vary the order of the court remanding the defendants in detention centres and adjourning the case to January.

“I have, however, directed the Nigeria Police to transfer the case-file to my office and hand over same to the Director of Public Prosecution of the Federation (DPPF) tomorrow, Saturday 2nd November, 2024.

“I have further directed the DPPF to immediately put machinery in motion for consideration of the court to bring the adjournment date forward (an earlier date).”

It will be recalled that police had on Friday, arraigned 72 persons that included minors, before the Federal High Court in Abuja for participating in the recent nationwide protest.

The 10-count charge against the defendants bordered on treason.

Four minors who were cited as defendants in the case collapsed before the charge could be read to them in court, a development that prompted their exclusion from the trial.

The AGF’s intervention may not be unconnected with widespread condemnation that trailed the incident.

helinues:
People also should start using their brains. They shouldn't be allowing those good for nothing people to be inciting them on protest that won't yield any meaningful results

blacknp:
Yes o, the good for nothing Obidient one’s/ Eyepobian sympathizers on Nairaland are the same hypocrites forming sympathy for the mumus they deceived to go and behave like public nuisances all in the vexation say they lose election.

They would without hesitation, cut their watery noses, to spite their deaf ears.

helinues:
I actually don't understand why some people supporting anything always bring pains to others.

They would be the people inciting others on things they won't be taking part in

Those minors wouldn't have been arrested if there wasn't anything like protest

blacknp:
Worthless protest, ask any of the Eyepobian Obidients what they gained?

Mumus that cut their noses, to spite their ears, thinking that they are doing the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Mumus, Tinubu is still sleeping in Aso Rock, economy has gotten worse, ask them hypocrites what they gained from their protest.

Same promoters of the anarchy like the OP, are the same ones forming sympathizers on Nairaland for this same Northernersthat they truly despise.

helinues:
Imagine them trying to form innocent on this issue. Something they incited. They act before thinking

blacknp:
Bobloco a major promoter in the incitement is indicted.

helinues:
Some of those people don't have an atom of shame. We have been seeing the things they supported in the past which brought calamities. Why should we listen to anything they said.

Those who chose to be continuing listening to them would have themselves to be blamed as they have records of leading people into astray
