Some teenagers who were allegedly involved in the nationwide #EndBadGovernance protesters which rocked the entire nation from August 1 to 10, 2024, were seen in a distressing state upon arrival at the Federal High Court in Abuja for arraignment.

In some videos recorded in the courtroom and obtained by PUNCH Online Friday, some of the male protesters were seen looking malnourished and unkempt.

Some were also groaning on the floor as some persons brought them biscuits and bottled water.

A voice in the background stated, “As you can see, they have been malnourished. They haven’t eaten for the past four days. They’ve been kept by the government in detention. These are boys between 12, 13, 14 years old.

“They haven’t had food; they are malnourished, they are sick, they were slumping. They’ve been kept for three months. They have been left without food. We had to provide food for them.”
