The former education minister Oby Ezekwesili has berated the Nigerian Judiciary for the ongoing judicial recklessness ongoing in Nigeria. She made the call after a very unfortunate situation that happened in Abuja court where several minors were paraded in court regarding the EndBadGovernance protest.
It was a big scene in the court as some of the kids were so frail and some were looking so malnourished that they couldn’t stand on their own… Some were foaming in their mouth that they had to rush some to the hospital.

“Really? What exactly is this? 😭 🤦🏾♀️
Our Democracy has degraded to this barbaric depth?
The bedrock of our democracy is the rule of law and that means we have to have an independent judiciary, judges who can make decisions independent of the political winds that are blowing.
~~Caroline Kennedy
How did the Nigerian Constitution become so useless that the Nigerian Judiciary @njcNig could allow such violations of the rights of these minors to happen at such egregious levels?
The NBA @NigBarAssoc , where are you?
What exactly is this, our dear Chief Justice of Nigeria? Can we the Citizens of Nigeria count on you for a clean sweep of this version of our Judiciary?
These children must be swiftly released to their parents and guardians, and adequately compensated for the damages done them by the Nigerian State @NGRPresident @NigeriaGov . ✍🏾✍🏾✍🏾
