Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has called for a thorough investigation into the detention and treatment of minors involved in the #EndBadGovernance protests. This reaction came after disturbing reports and footage revealed that many of these minors appeared malnourished and in poor health while being arraigned in court. Some detainees were so weak that they fainted during the proceedings. Obi expressed concern over the handling of these young detainees and emphasized that their constitutional rights, including peaceful protest, must be protected.
Obi urged the Attorney-General, the police, and the National Human Rights Commission to investigate this inhumane treatment to prevent such issues in the future. His comments were echoed by other leaders and human rights organizations, who have condemned the prolonged and harsh detention conditions of these minors.
