The Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), in response to the recent arraignment of individuals involved in the “#EndBadGovernance” protest, has directed the police to submit the case file to his office for further review.<\/p>\n
In a statement, Fagbemi noted, \u201cIt has just come to my notice that the police have arraigned those arrested in connection with the End Bad Governance violent protest in court for various offenses, including treason. My office will need to look into some issues regarding the matter so that I can make an informed decision.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fagbemi clarified that, while he cannot override the court’s order remanding the defendants in detention and setting the next hearing for January, he has instructed the Nigeria Police to transfer the case file to the Director of Public Prosecution of the Federation (DPPF) by Saturday, November 2, 2024.<\/p>\n
Additionally, he has directed the DPPF to \u201cimmediately set machinery in motion for the court’s consideration of moving the adjournment date forward to an earlier date.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
