Video - Nigerian protesters including minors face treason charges



Backlash has erupted in Nigeria over the detention of 30 minors, aged 14 to 17, who are among 76 people charged with treason following August protests against worsening economic conditions. Rights advocates argue that holding minors beyond 14 days violates Nigerian law. In response, President Bola Tinubu has instructed the Attorney General to review these cases, but the minors remain in custody, with a hearing set for January 24.
