Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court in Abuja has remanded 10 #EndBadGovernance protesters in prison.
The judge remanded nine male protesters in the Kuje prison while a female protester was remanded in Suleja.
The court also fixed September 11 for trial and ruling on bail application by the protesters.
This followed the arraignment of the protesters for alleged treason, mutiny and intent to destabilise Nigeria.
The 10 persons who were arraigned before Justice Emeka Nwite are Michael Adaramoye also known as Lenin, Adeyemi Abayomi, Suleiman Yakubu, Opaoluwa Simon, and Angel Innocent.
Others are Buhari Lawal, Mosiu Sadiq, Bashir Bello, Nuradeen Khamis, and Abdulsalam Zubairu.
The defendants, who all pleaded not guilty, were arraigned on six counts of alleged treason, intent to destabilise Nigeria, conspiracy to commit felony and inciting to mutiny which is an offence punishable under Section 97 of the Penal Code.
Another lawyer, Deji Adeyanju who appeared for three of the defendants, faulted the treason charges against the defendants insisting that they only participated in lawful and legitimate protests against hardships facing them.
The defendants are equally accused of levying war against the state to intimidate President Bola Tinubu by attacking and injuring police officers and burning police stations, government buildings and private buildings.
