Judge Obiora Egwuatu is due to arraign the 76 detained #EndBadGovernance protesters, and they have just arrived at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
The demonstrators, who were mostly children, appeared undernourished as four of them were hastily escorted out the courtroom because they were unable to stand.
They made a shrieking sound as they wriggled in agony, looking quite ill.
Due to the severe economic hardship that caused many Nigerians to come to the streets to voice their complaints, they were arrested and incarcerated during the statewide protests that took place from August 1 to August 10.
