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.
The accused, including Michael Tobiloba Adaramoye, Adeyemi Abiodun Abayomi, Suleiman Yakubu, Comrade Opaluwa Eleojo Simon, Angel Love Innocent, Buhari Lawal, Mosiu Sadiq, Bashir Bello Nurudeen Khamis, and Abduldalam Zubair, all pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Counsel for the IGP, Simon Lough, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), requested that Justice Emeka Nwite remand the accused in prison pending trial. However, defense counsel are actively contesting the bail applications for the accused.
