Bashir Was Accused Of Being Given Millions Of Dollars When He Had Just 2k In His Account -Shehu Sani

Former Senator Shehu Sani has hailed the Federal High Court’s acquittal of individuals arrested over the ‘End Bad Governance’ protest, describing the ruling as a significant victory for justice. He issued the reaction on Thursday through a post on his X account on Friday, December 12, 2025.

In his statement, Sani recounted his visits to some of the detainees during their time at Kuje Correctional Centre and condemned what he described as wrongful arrests carried out by security operatives. He noted that several of the individuals were detained despite having no connection to the demonstrations.

He wrote, “The acquittal of the ‘End Bad Governance’ protesters by the Federal High Court is a welcome development and 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.”

Sani highlighted specific cases to underscore his concerns about the handling of the arrests. “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 2k in his account,” he stated.

He commended the legal practitioners who represented the detainees throughout the case. “Kudos to Deji and other members of the legal team,” he wrote.
