CSO Demands Separate Detention, Justice for Detained Minors
Women Aid Collective Nigeria has urged the Federal Government to redirect minors from formal judicial processes and separate them from adults in detention facilities.
The CSO stated that detention and trial of minors should be a last resort, advocating for juvenile courts to handle such proceedings.
This follows the arraignment of 76 #EndBadGovernance protesters, including minors, before the Federal High Court in Abuja.
Executive Director Prof Joy Ezeilo emphasized that children’s rights are human rights and must be respected.
