A Kano State Mobile Court has remanded 632 participants in the End Bad Governance protest in jail for the alleged vandalisation of public and government properties during the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest.
The defendants were charged with criminal conspiracy, theft, unlawful assembly, inciting disturbance, trespass, and mischief by fire.
The State Director of Public Prosecution, Salisu Tahir, told the court that the defendants committed the alleged offences during the protest on 1st August.
He alleged that on the same date, during the #EndBadGovernance nationwide protest, the defendants trespassed and vandalised government and public properties in the state.
While some of the defendants pleaded guilty, others pleaded not guilty to the charge.
After the remand order was issued, the court which was presided by three Senior Judicial officials, adjourned the sitting until 19th August for a hearing.
