The two men who were arrested for protesting against President Muhammadu Buhari in Kogi, Anene Victor and Emmanuel Larry, have been secretly arraigned before a magistrate court in Lokoja, the state capital.
The duo in a video that went viral on Monday, were holding “Buhari must go” posters, and were seen being flogged by youths for their demonstration. Benjamin Omeiza, lawyer to the two men, on Friday, said his clients were arraigned on Tuesday at the magistrate court 1, Lokoja (popularly called Lugard court), on charges bordering on treasonable felony and inciting public unrest. "At a time when the judiciary is on strike, a magistrate is entertaining a case he has no jurisdiction over and then remanding suspects over a bailable allegation," he said.
