Media Attraction Was Their Reason For Fainting, IGP Says On Protesters Standing Trial

The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has claimed that the fainting of six #EndBadGovernance protesters in court before their arraignment on Friday, was a deliberate act in a bid to attract negative attention.

This was contained in a statement dated November 1 and signed by the Force Spokesman, Muyiwa Adejobi, on behalf of Egbetokun.

On Friday, 76 suspects, made up of mostly minors who appeared malnourished, were arraigned before the Federal High Court in Abuja.

Six of them collapsed and had to be rushed out of the courtroom.

The incident has since sparked criticism within and outside Nigeria.

But in the statement, Adejobi noted that under Nigerian law, individuals who have reached the age of criminal responsibility are accountable for their actions, regardless of their age.

He said, “Today, an unexpected incident in court saw six of the suspects suddenly rush out and faint, drawing media attention in a deliberate and scripted manner to attract negative attention.

“Medical aid was promptly provided to these individuals, demonstrating the Police Force’s commitment to the welfare of those in its custody, irrespective of the allegations they face.

“While committed to upholding justice, the Nigeria Police Force remains sensitive to the rights of all individuals, including young persons. Under Nigerian law, individuals who have reached the age of criminal responsibility are answerable for their actions, regardless of their age.

“This principle aligns with global practices, where accountability is upheld for young individuals who commit serious offences. As seen in other jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom, age does not exempt individuals from facing legal consequences. However, each case is approached with empathy and in accordance with human rights standards.”
