Underweight Minor Suffers Health Crisis During Abuja Court Proceedings.

Dramatic scenes unfolded in court when a starved 15-year-old protester fainted during his arraignment. The frail minor, among the 76 charged with participation in the #endbadgovernance protests, fell sick while facing serious charges. The judge had no choice but to suspend the proceedings as lawyers rushed toward the distressed youth. This sad incident simply shows what many young protesters are being subjected to: having been kept in detention for over 80 days with no proper care.
