The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), has completed the necessary documentation to release individuals detained in connection with the #EndBadGovernance protests, including minors facing treason charges.

Sources indicate that these detainees are scheduled to be released at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday.

SaharaReporters confirmed late Monday that officials—including the Attorney General, Inspector General of Police, and representatives from the Nigerian Correctional Service—have finalised plans to present the detainees before Justice Obiora Egwuatu, who is expected to oversee the withdrawal of the charges.

“Arrangements have been made for the release of #EndBadGovernance detainees at the Federal High Court tomorrow (Tuesday),” a source informed SaharaReporters.

This decision follows a directive from President Bola Tinubu on Monday mandating the release of detained minors, whose arraignment at the Federal High Court on November 1 drew significant national and international criticism.

The anticipated release of these detainees is expected to alleviate tensions as calls for compassion and adherence to legal standards regarding the rights of juveniles continue to grow across the country and internationally.
