The three #EndBadGovernance protesters joined three other co-defendants who were released earlier.
Three of the 10 persons charged with treason over the August #EndBad Governance protest have been released from detention, after weeks of arduous efforts to meet the bail conditions imposed on them by the trial court.
One of the newly released defendants, Mr Adaramoye, told PREMIUM TIMES that he was happy to be out, and was"looking forward to the freedom of the remaining five comrades." They were in the Kuje prison up till 11 September when the trial court granted them bail in the sum of N10 million each. None of the defendants could immediately meet the bail conditions.Meanwhile, last Friday, the court also granted bail to another defendant - Daniel Akande, who was arrested in church on 1 September, and arraigned in court on Friday, 27 September. After he pleaded not guilty to the charges, the judge, Emeka Nwite, granted him bail.
The rest are Buhari Lawal, 21; Mosiu Sadiq, 28; Bashir Bello , 51; Nuradeen Khamis, 47; and Abdulsalam Zubairu, 37.On 2 September, the Nigerian government arraigned the 10 defendants linked to the #EndBadGovernance protests on charges of war plotting and an attempt to toppleThe police filed the charges in August as the government stepped up its clampdown on protesters and the organisers of the #EndBadGovernance protests held in major cities around the country from 1 to 10 August.
