A former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has said that some ‘End Bad Governance’ protesters were wrongly arrested.
Sani made this statement in a post on his verified X handle on Friday, stressing that some of them were incarcerated as scapegoats by the security forces.
This was as he commended the acquittal of some of them by the Federal High Court is a welcome development, describing it as a triumph of justice.
“I was privileged to visit some of them in Kuje prison during their travails. Many of them were wrongly arrested and incarcerated as scapegoats by the security forces.
“One of them was a refrigerator and AC technician who knew nothing about the protest.
“Another one called Bashir was accused of being given millions of dollars when he had just N2,000 in his account.
“Kudos to Deji and other members of the legal team,” he said.
