The protesters were brought before the court for allegedly engaging in activities aimed at undermining national security and public order and attempting to over throw President Bola Tinubu.

At Wednesday’s proceedings, the trial Judge, Justice Emeka Nwite after hearing submissions from the defense team, led by Marshall Abubakar, and the prosecution, represented by Simon Lough, SAN found reasons with the submissions of defence counsel and granted the bail to the defendants.
