BREAKING: 76 Malnourished #EndBadGovernance protesters arraigned

The detained 76 #EndBadGovernance protesters just arrived at the Federal High Court in Abuja for their scheduled arraignment before Justice Obiora Egwuatu.

The protesters, mainly minors, looked malnourished as four of them were hurriedly rushed out of the courtroom as they couldn’t stand on their feet.

Looking very sickly, they wriggled in pain in a screeching sound.

They were arrested and detained during the nationwide August 1 to 10 protests which were sparked by widespread economic hardship that led many Nigerians to take to the streets to express their grievances.

The 76 protesters, who were arrested in Abuja, Kaduna, Gombe, Jos, Katsina, and Kano states, are being accused of treason, among other offences.
