A mild drama occurred on Friday when some suspects brought before the Federal High Court in Abuja over the recent #EndBadGovernance protests fainted in court.
Seventy-five suspects, aged between twelve and fifteen years of age, were brought by the Nigerian Police Force before Justice Obiora Egwuatu on a 10-count charge over their participation in the protest.
The suspects, who were allegedly arrested on August 3rd and have since been in detention, are accused of attempting to overthrow the government of President Bola Tinubu by participating in the nationwide protest.
However, when they were arraigned in court on Friday, some of the suspects fainted, which made Justice Egwuatu rise abruptly.
The development caused panic in the courtroom, with some background voices questioning why such young children should be arraigned in court.
