The Department of State Service, DSS, this weekend, released two out of about 125 #EndBadGovernance protesters, who have been in detention in Kaduna.
The 125 have been in detention for over two months including 38 protesters remanded by Justice Emeka Nwite in Abuja.
The 38 detained protesters would appear before Justice Nwite for further hearing on their bail.
Counsel to the protesters, Mr. Deji Adeyanju, reportedly expressed concerns over the inconsistencies in the handling of protest-related cases in the country. and the general lack of transparency in the judicial process.
Adeyanju however stated that about 873 protesters arrested in Kano have been released and that efforts are on-going to secure the release of two protesters in Sokoto.
Nationwide, over 1,000 protesters were arrested.
The #EndBadGovernance protests took place in August and October by youths over the worsening economic hardship and growing hunger across the land.
