BREAKING: Panic in court as young #EndBadGovernance protest suspects faint

A mild drama unfolded on Friday when several suspects presented at the Federal High Court in Abuja fainted during proceedings related to the recent #EndBadGovernance protests.

IDOMA VOICE reports that seventy-five suspects, aged between twelve and fifteen, were brought before Justice Obiora Egwuatu facing a 10-count charge connected to their participation in the protests.

These individuals, who were reportedly arrested on August 3rd and have been in detention since then, are accused of attempting to overthrow the government of President Bola Tinubu by joining the nationwide demonstrations.

As they were being arraigned in court, some of the suspects collapsed, prompting Justice Egwuatu to rise abruptly. This incident led to panic in the courtroom, with some voices in the background questioning why such young individuals were being brought before the court.
