VeryDarkMan, a prominent activist, has addressed President Tinubu regarding the plight of underage protesters detained during the #EndBadGovernance movement. In a passionate appeal from the Federal High Court, he described witnessing a distressing scene where over 20 children, all under the age of 15, have been locked up for an astonishing 93 days. He expressed his disbelief and outrage at the severity of the charges these minors face, including treason, and pleaded for compassion from the government.
In his message, VeryDarkMan implored President Tinubu to "temper justice with mercy," urging the release of these young protesters who simply sought a better future. He highlighted the emotional toll on the children's families, with mothers crying outside the courthouse, desperate for their children's return. The activist's words resonated with many, sparking an outpouring of support on social media.
Commenters expressed admiration for VeryDarkMan's fearless stance, with many questioning the justice system's treatment of the youth compared to more lenient bail conditions for adults involved in serious crimes. The public's reaction reflects a growing discontent with the government's handling of the situation, as calls for justice and fair treatment of protesters gain momentum.
