A Magistrate Court sitting at Yaba, Lagos, has finally granted bail to Nicholas Mbah and Ugwumba Chikiezie who were remanded in Kirikiri Prison following their involvement in the Lagos leg of last year’s #EndSARS protests.
Nicholas and Chikiezie are standing trial for alleged armed robbery, arson and public disturbance.
Ruling on the bail application filed on behalf of the defendants by their counsel, the court admitted the two suspects to bail in the sum of N50,000 and two sureties in the like sum.
FIJ had reported how Nicholas and Chikiezie were whisked to Ojo Police Station and were accused of participating in the #EndSARS protests that led to the attacks on police stations in the area.
