The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, has sought transfer of the casefile of 114 EndBadGovernance protesters from the police to his office.
Mr Fagbemi also directed the director of Public Prosecution of the Federation to bring the adjournment date to an earlier date.
“It has just come to my notice that the police have arraigned those arrested in connection with the endbad governance violent protest in court for various offences including treason,” Mr Fagbemi said in a statement issued late Friday evening.
“There are some issues my office will need to look into regarding the matter to enable me take an informed decision.
“I am aware that the court has remanded the defendants in detention centres and adjourned the case to January.
“It is not within my power to vary the order of the court remanding the defendants in detention centres and adjourning the case to January. I have, however, directed the Nigeria Police to transfer the casefile to my office and hand over same to the Director of Public Prosecution of the Federation (DPPF) tomorrow, Saturday 2nd November, 2024.
“I have further directed the DPPF to immediately put machinery in motion for consideration of the court to bring the adjournment date forward (an earlier date).”
Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice,
Prince Lateef Fagbemi (SAN)
