Breaking: After participating in hardship protest, teenager faints during court trial
An underage #EndBadGovernance protester detained by the Nigeria Police Force since August on Friday collapsed inside the courtroom of the Federal High Court in Abuja.
The protest was against exacerbating insecurity and deprivation occasioned by President Bola Tinubu’s policies.
Meanwhile pictures and videos of the incident seen by our correspondent on Friday showed some of the teenagers, who have been locked up since August, writhing on the floor of the courtroom, with some of other detainees trying to help them.
In one of the pictures, a lawyer is seen trying to resuscitate one of the protesters who collapsed while standing in the dock.
The detention of the teenagers was ordered by Justice Emeka Nwite, who granted an ex-parte application by the police to keep them in custody for 60 days to conclude their ‘investigation’ against the protesters, who have been accused of attempting to truncate democracy.
