Court has reportedly mandated the remand of #ENDSARS peaceful protesters who were nabbed while protesting at the National Assembly complex in Abuja on Friday, 6th November, 2020.
As per reports, a magistrate court sitting in Abuja yesterday ordered that the 5 individuals who participated in the #ENDSARS peaceful protest be remanded at a correctional center until 25th January 2021 when the case was adjourned to.
It could be recalled that on Friday that the publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore shared photographs and videos via the web alleging that he and a few protesters who stormed the National Assembly to paint EndSARS graffiti on the road leading to the Assembly were attacked by police officers and 5 of them were apprehended.
In a followup post shared via his Facebook page, Omoyele disclosed the arrested protesters were arraigned before a Magistrate court and the court denied them bail and ordered that they be remanded in prison custody till 2021.
Taking to his Facebook page, he wrote;
“After our #EndSARS Graffiti action at the National Assembly today, we headed to the Magistrates in Wuse area of Abuja where some of our colleagues were arraigned after unlawful arrests were carried out by the Nigerian police. The court activities were scripted, it was unbelievable! The Magistrate denied our comrades bail using the case of Asari Dokubo as a justification. We were all shocked but not surprised. They were eventually led away to prison! Just another sad day and the reason we must keep fighting to liberate ourselves. #RevolutionNow”
