The former Minister of Education and Chairman of World Trade Organization, WTO, Oby Ezekwesili has reacted after one of the children detained during the #EndBadGovernance protest in August slùmped in court.
Her reaction was contained in a post that she shared on her official X handle on Friday.
In the post that Oby Ezekwesili made on her page, she said democracy in Nigeria has degraded to a barbaric depth.
The former Minister of Education said the children must be swiftly released to their parents and guardians, and adequately compensated for the damages done to them.
Here is what she wrote on her official page;
“The bedrock of our democracy is the rule of law and that means we have to have an independent judiciary, judges who can make decisions independent of the political winds that are blowing. What exactly is this, our dear Chief Justice of Nigeria? Can we the Citizens of Nigeria count on you for a clean sweep of this version of our Judiciary?”.
