Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja yesterday, slammed N10m bail each on the ten members of the #endbadgovernance protesters who were charged with an attempt to overthrow President Bola Ahmed Tinubu between July 1 and August 4 this year.
Justice Emeka Nwite admitted them to bail while delivering a ruling on their bail applications.
Among others, the protesters are to produce one surety each in the same amount, while the sureties must be residents in Abuja.
Besides, the sureties must be property owners in Abuja and deposit documents of the properties to the court in addition to swearing an affidavit of means.
Also, the defendants and the sureties must deposit their international passports and three recent passport photographs with the court.
Justice Nwite, while rejecting the objections of the inspector general of police against the bail request, ordered the defendants not to participate in any public rally throughout their trial.
Pending the perfection of their respective bail conditions, the Judge ordered that they be remanded in prison custody.
Meanwhile, September 27 has been fixed for the commencement of their trial.
The accused persons were said to have committed the treason offence during their one week nationwide protests when they allegedly levied war against Nigeria.
The accused persons are Michael Tobiloba Adaramoye, Adeyemi Abiodun Abayomi, Suleiman Yakubu, Comrade Opaluwa Eleojo Simon, Angel Love Innocent, Buhari Lawal, Mosiu Sadiq, Bashir Bello Nurudeen Khamis and Abduldalam Zubair.
