They are accused of inciting the public against the government and causing widespread destruction of public property, including police stations, a High Court complex, and facilities belonging to the National Communication Commission (NCC).

The alleged offenses reportedly took place in various locations, including Abuja, Kano, Kaduna, and Gombe.
