Abuja Court Sentences Man to Six Months for Illegal Sale of Naira Notes A Federal High Court in Abuja has sentenced Faisal Muhammad to six months in prison for illegally selling Naira notes in violation of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Act. Muhammad was arrested in July 2025 at Abuja’s A.Y.A. area while hawking a total of N3,150,000 in N500 and N1,000 denominations. Pleading guilty to the offence, he was sentenced by Justice R. N. Ofili-Ajumogobia, who confirmed the prosecution had established its case. The court also offered an option of a N200,000 fine. The EFCC reiterated that illegal trading in Naira notes is a criminal offence that undermines the integrity of Nigeria’s currency. #EFCC #IllegalNairaTrade #AbujaCourt

Abuja Court Frees 11 #EndBadGovernance Protesters, Dismisses Treason and Terrorism Charges A Federal High Court in Abuja has acquitted 11 activists arrested during the 2024 #EndBadGovernance protests, striking out all treason and terrorism-related charges brought against them. Justice Emeka Nwite ruled that the allegations were unfounded, marking what activist Adaramoye Michael Lenin described as a “historic victory.” The protesters had been detained for over a year after security agencies accused them of attempting to destabilise the country during nationwide demonstrations fuelled by economic hardship, insecurity, and public frustration under President Bola Tinubu’s administration. Human rights groups consistently condemned the charges as politically motivated attempts to suppress dissent. With the ruling, all accused individuals have been fully discharged. #EndBadGovernance #HumanRights #AbujaCourt
