The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has offered free legal representation to #EndBadGovernance protesters with court cases across the country.
President of the NBA, Afam Osigwe, who announced this on his X handle today, also directed NBA branches to monitor the legal proceedings against protesters across the country.
According to him, he has launched a pro bono support initiative for protesters who lack legal representation, directing the Nigerian Bar Association Citizens’ Liberties Committee (NBA-CLC) to liaise closely with the chairmen and human rights committees of NBA branches in regions where protesters are currently being prosecuted.
Nine of the #EndBadGovernance protesters were remanded in Kuje correctional centre after being charged with treason while the court ordered the remand of the only female among them in the Suleja correctional facility.
