There was chaos at a federal high court in Abuja on Friday after some children who allegedly took part in the #EndBadGovernance protests collapsed while waiting to be arraigned.
The court had fixed Friday for the arraignment of the defendants who are mostly minors.
At the commencement of proceedings, the children who looked ill and malnourished, were asked to come forward to take their plea.
While some huddled in the dock, others stood outside the cubicle due to insufficient space.
However, four of them hurriedly rushed out of the courtroom after they collapsed and writhed in pain.
Obiora Egwuatu, presiding judge, had to rise abruptly before calm returned to the courtroom.
When the court session resumed, the prosecution asked that the names of the four ill children be removed from the charge.
The application was granted and the other defendants were arraigned.
The 76 defendants, who were arrested in Abuja, Kaduna, Gombe, Jos, Katsina, and Kano states, are being accused of treason, among other offences.
Tinubu is an enemy of the north. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Arresting minors from the north? Why can’t he do that in SW? We all know why?
