One hundred and fourteen #EndBadGovernance protesters, including minors and adults acquitted by the Federal High Court in Abuja, have arrived at the Presidential Villa.
The protesters, initially arraigned by the Police Force, were released following a court ruling by Justice Obiora Egwatu.
The case was dismissed at the request of the Attorney General of the Federation (“AGF”), Lateef Fagbemi.
Vice President Kashim Shettima, representing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is set to officially receive the released protesters.
They are then handed over to their respective Governors, specifically Uba Sani of Kaduna and Abba Yusuf of Kano.
Ministers present at the State House Auditorium in Abuja for the reception include: Tunji Alausa (“Minister of Education”); Nentawe Yilwatda (“Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction”); Balarabe Lawal (“Minister of Environment”) and Tanko Sununu (“Minister of State for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction”).
