Case Against Four #EndSARS Protesters Dismissed By Abuja Court by Nemere2020(op): 5:16pm On Jan 25, 2021

A court in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, on Monday discharged four out of six protesters arrested in November for demonstrating outside the National Assembly.

Last year, the nation was swept by weeks of widespread #EndSARS protests sparked by anger over brutality from the police’s loathed Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).

The government disbanded the unit and pledged reforms but still struggled to contain the largest challenge to Nigeria’s governing elite in decades.

The six defendants were arrested on November 8, 2020 and charged with unlawful assembly.

Defence lawyer Henry Akwaji requested the case be dismissed because the prosecution team was absent from court on Monday.

The court agreed and dismissed the case due to a lack of diligent prosecution.

“Defendants, Olutosin Adeniji, Abdusalam Zubarur, Paul Akinwumi, and Devour Chomo are discharged and the complaint against them dismissed,” magistrate Musa Eneye ruled.

The remaining two, Yasidu Bashiru and Kabiru Garzali, according to AFP were absent from court due to illness. The case against them was adjourned until March 24.

What about the ones detained without even taking them to court?

There are more than 50 persons held secretly that there is no fair hearing on their case.

I'll Always Have Something To Tell My Unborn Children,

A Time Will Come In This Same Nigeria That People Will Be Scared To Rule Over The Masses,

A Time When,

The Poor Will Have The Taste Of Wealth Or Riches,

If Any Person In Uniform Misbehave Would Be Killed By The Unknown,
Not Even By Massess,

A Time When, If Any Media Prints Or Portrays The Truth As The Lie Would Be Dealt With,

I Mean A Time When Any Person In Power Will Be Scared To Be Killed By The Unknown grin

A Time When The Word "corruption" Won't Frequent Our Headlines,

A Time When All The Past Leaders Will Have Share Of The Bile They've Been Feeding The Masses,

A Time When We'll Have Low Stats On Crimes,

I Don't Know How To Say This,

But The Time Will Come But Will Not Last,

Because The Poor We're Fighting For Will Say They Didn't Send Us, Just The Way Libya Did To Gadafi grin

Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe. In matters of truth and justice, there is no difference between large and small problems, for issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same. If one really wishes to know how justice is administered in a country, one does not question the policemen, the lawyers, the judges, or the protected members of the middle class. One goes to the unprotected--those, precisely, who need the law's protection most!--and listens to their testimony.

All of you salivating over breakup of Nigeria...know that it won't happen peacefully..and not only that, know that you will suffer immeasuarably when that happens.

It is in our best interest that the contraption stays together. Because a breakup would be disastrous, and if you think that Somalia is small things...Nigeria breakup would be very destabilising for a lot of people.

Yes, the Hasuas have been ruling us for ever and ever...but in the last 20 years, we have had two Southerners ruling us, and they were not much better. And besides, if you want your candidate to win, you have to work for it.

Break Nigeria...it would be dog eat dog as a result. You will find yourself longing for Nigeria in a few years of breakup.

Bertter pray for your country.

And no, I am not a Buhu or PDP supporter....neither am I a fulani, hausa, or Ibo or Yourba. I am, a relaist. I am also dissapinted in the state of leadership in this country at all levels. But breaking up Nigeria won't change anything...and besides the same people in charge today, will still be in charge tomorrow...and still be looting and cheating. And you and I would be getting the worng end of the stick.

God bless this president that always obey and respect the rule of laws.

God bless our darling Daddy President Muhammadu Buhari and his amiable Vice president Prof Yemi Osinbajo as they make our once looted and vandalized nation work again.

God bless Nigeria.

On what were they convicted before?

This should not have been a case at all if they really know the rule of law.
