Unpacking the AGF’s Demand for Police to Release EndBadGovernance Files
The Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) has instructed the Nigerian Police to transfer the case files of protesters involved in the #EndBadGovernance movement.
This directive is aimed at centralizing the review and handling of cases related to the demonstrations, which emerged as part of broader calls for governance reform and accountability in Nigeria.
The #EndBadGovernance protests have drawn considerable attention, with participants advocating for better public services, an end to corruption, and a more transparent government.
By requesting the case files, the AGF’s office appears to be signaling an interest in overseeing the legal processes and ensuring any charges or legal proceedings align with constitutional and judicial standards.
This move has been met with mixed reactions.
While some see it as a step toward justice and proper handling of the cases, others worry it could lead to further legal complications or delays in addressing the protesters’ concerns.
