A federal high court in Abuja has struck out the suit against 119 protesters charged over the nationwide #EndBadGovernance protest.
Obiora Egwuatu, the presiding judge, dismissed the case following an application by M.D. Abubakar, counsel to the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF).
Abubakar had requested permission to take over and discontinue the suit.
During the session on Tuesday, Abubakar asked the court to allow the AGF to take over the charge.
This development comes just hours after President Bola Tinubu directed the attorney-general and law enforcement to release all minors detained over the protest.
As of the time of reporting, all the minors have been freed.
More to come…
