Endbad governance protest: AGF intervenes, seeks casefile from police
The Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN) has requested for the Casefile of the suspected arsonists in the Endbad government protest.
This came after some minors were arraigned in Abuja court, which had since generated public uproar.
A statement by the AGF, says “t has just come to my notice that the police have arraigned those arrested in connection with the endbad governance violent protest in court for various offences including treason.
There are some issues my office will need to look into regarding the matter to enable me take an informed decision.
I am aware that the court has remanded the defendants in detention centres and adjourned the case to January.
It is not within my power to vary the order of the court remanding the defendants in detention centres and adjourning the case to January. I have, however, directed the Nigeria Police to transfer the casefile to my office and hand over same to the Director of Public Prosecution of the Federation (DPPF) tomorrow, Saturday 2nd November, 2024.
I have further directed the DPPF to immediately put machinery in motion for consideration of the court to bring the adjournment date forward (an earlier date).
