The recent arraignment of minors involved in the #EndBadGovernance protests in Nigeria faced a serious incident, with multiple young detainees reportedly slumping in court due to harsh detention conditions. These minors have been detained for nearly three months, often in inadequate facilities with minimal access to food and hygiene. Families and activists have voiced concerns over these conditions, which they say contributed to the collapse of several minors during their November court hearing.
This incident has heightened calls for the Nigerian government to address the treatment of detained protesters, especially minors. Parents and civil society groups continue to appeal for their release, arguing that the harsh measures violate basic rights and international standards on the treatment of minors. Local legislators and human rights organizations are pressing for improved conditions and faster judicial processes to address these cases fairly and humanely.
