The Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed charges against 119 protesters involved in the #EndBadGovernance movement.
According to The PUNCH, the charges, which included treason felony and incitement to mutiny, were struck out on Tuesday by Justice Obiora Egwuatu.
The suit was dismissed after M. D. Abubakar, counsel to the Attorney General of the Federation, filed an application requesting to take over and discontinue the case.
Justice Egwuatu subsequently ruled in favor of the application, resulting in the charges being dropped.
The protesters were originally arraigned on Friday, November 1, in two separate batches. The first group included 76 individuals, of which 32 were minors, while the second batch comprised 43 protesters.
