FG Counsel Refutes Claims of Arraigned Protesters Being Minors, Labels Them Adults and Married Men
The Federal Government’s legal counsel, Rimazonte Ezekiel, has rejected claims that the 67 individuals arraigned for participating in the End Bad Governance protest are minors.
Speaking to newsmen post-arraignment, Ezekiel clarified that the accused are “adults, with most being married men,” contrary to the public belief that they are underage.
“These boys are adults; none of them is a minor. Some are university graduates, and many are married. The children seen at court were merely there to greet their relatives. The actual suspects were detained in Kaduna and Zaria,” he explained.
Ezekiel added that these individuals allegedly used foreign symbols and slogans during the protests, calling for military intervention in Nigeria, which he described as an act against the nation’s democratic values.
