VIDEO: Child slumps in Abuja court while being arraigned along other children over #EndBadGovernance protest 

 

A child not more than 11 years old has slumped in an Abuja High Court while being arraigned over #EndBadGovernance protest.

 

 

The child, along with a dozen  other children, were herded into a courtroom and put in a dock on Friday, November 1.

 

 

Once in the dock, the boy whose name has not been ascertained, slumped. The effort to resuscitate him fell on his other colleagues who are also children.

 

 

According to a post on X, the boy slumped because he was malnourished.

 

 

Some lawyers were heard wondering aloud how children would be arraigned.

 

 

Recall that dozens of #EndBadGovernance protesters were arrested on the first few days of the protest which commenced on August 1 to 10 and kept in prolonged detention until activists started protesting the detention without trial.
