A Chief Magistrate Court in Lafia has refused the bail applications of 38 women charged over a protest of the Supreme Court judgment on the Nasarawa gubernatorial poll.

The court fixed Thursday, January 25, for the hearing of the bail application for the women accused by the police of causing public disturbance and mischief.

The decision was made after the Chief Magistrate, Mohammed Abdullahi Lanze, listened to arguments presented by counsels to both the complainant and the defendants during the bail application proceedings.

The bail application, submitted on Friday, January 19, 2024 by the defense counsel, Ayiwulu Baba Ayiwulu, was rejected.

At the subsequent hearing, Ayiwulu argued on legal grounds, pleading with the court to show mercy by granting bail to the defendants.

On the opposing side, Counsel to the Commissioner of Police, Danjuma Allu, contended that the complainant had a statutory seven days to respond to the bail application, urging the court to grant him a short date to reply, in accordance with the provisions of the law.

Following these arguments, Lanze adjourned the sitting to Thursday for the hearing of the bail application for the 38 individuals.

Lanze ordered the Commissioner of Police to produce the defendants in court on the specified date for the hearing.

Responding to the court’s decision, Kefas Tiga, the Coordinator of the civil society group Community Initiative for Character Modeling and Entrepreneurship Development expressed dismay.

He described the situation as disheartening and reckless, particularly stating concerns about breastfeeding women, those with children, and others with health issues who were not granted bail despite the legal counsel’s application.

Tiga called upon civil society organizations to fulfill their responsibilities by questioning incidents that infringe upon the fundamental human rights of individuals in society, emphasizing that those arrested were not all part of the protests that began on March 19, 2023, and stressed that the demonstrations had been peaceful.

The 38 women were arraigned on charges of causing public disturbance, criminal conspiracy, mischief by fire, and unlawful assembly on Friday, 19th January.

They were subsequently remanded at the Lafia Custodial Center of the Nigeria Correctional Service.

The arrests stemmed from their peaceful expression of dissatisfaction over the Supreme Court’s decision that affirmed Abdullahi Sule as the Governor of Nasarawa State.

You lock up 38 women just for protesting

Chei!

They had no reason to protest. They were causing public disturbance and mischief. Their senseless action could have lead to anarchy in Nassarawa state.

They must be use as an example so that some set of people who find it hard to accept defeat won't also do it in 2027.

They had no reason to protest? Don't you know that the constitution gives everyone freedom of expression? Nobody needs reason to protest, its a constitutional right. Your security agents are shameless. All the insecurity in Nigeria, it is 38 female protesters they can lock up and charge to court

What a disgrace

The supreme court gave a judgement on the case, why do they have to protest? The protest could have led to anarchy.

Adults must be ready to take their L in peace. They were suppose to be preparing for the 2027 governorship election

Hmmm

APC protested in Rivers
Abuja
Enugu
Abia
Kano
Jos
Oyo
Osun


And nobody arrested anyone

Seriously na tribalism be the issue coupled with religion

If not we can build a country where 21st century light is available atleast 247

This Supreme Court governor Sule should not push his luck further

These ones don enter one chance...
The candidate they were ing will also deny them that he didn't send them to protest...

See wahala

Na ọ top civilians dem de flex power.

To protest is now a crime..

Truth is, most of these protesters are mobilized by politicians with peanuts. If you should interview those women, some of them don't even know what they were protesting for.

This should serve as a deterrent to them and others in the future. Next time when they offer you 2k to come and protest, you will refuse.

Say no to protests mobilized by politicians. You can't continue being their fools.

And the judge would have granted them bail if they were APC

Politics 2024.

Election that would still go the same way as this current one ?

The people are fed up with the monopoly in government as far as that state is concerned. They are not ready to hand over to either a Christian or an Eggon indigene this is privilege information. The opposition were united to take this particular one home but for the courts as usual to leave the power where it will benefit the Oga at the top

God no be man one day wonders shall happen
They have tried they only want to show the world how pained they feel but them dey beat pikin and say make pikin no cry

Ok

Mostly true but not entirely true Nassarawa indigenes have really had enough that is why they united in such a manner they have tried and should leave the rest to God
