EndBadGovernance protesters: We spent 68 days in Kuje Prison eating beans, garri

Date:

#EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protesters have disclosed how they spent 68 days at Kuje Prison in Abuja, eating beans and garri.
On Tuesday, about 114 suspects arrested during the August #EndBadGovernance protests were released to the governors of Kano and Kaduna states by the Federal Government.
The detainees were released to the governors at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, after the Abuja Federal High Court discharged them.
The Federal Government had discontinued the treason charges against the protesters following an outcry by Nigerians.
However, some of the protesters were reunited with their families on Wednesday.
Speaking with Daily Trust, one of the protesters, Hassan Muhammad, who resides along Ghana Road in Malali, Kaduna North Local Government Area of the state, said: “I was arrested on 5th August, 2024, at Ahmadu Bello Way in Kaduna during the #EndBadGovernance protest.
“After our arrest, we were taken to the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID), where we gave our statements, and from there, we were moved to the Federal Criminal Investigation Department (FCID).
“We spent 18 days at the FCID, after that, we were taken to Kuje Prison. We spent 68 days in the prison. It was a bad experience, and the feeding was also bad. They were giving us beans and garri for the days we spent in the prison.”(DAILY POST)
