Nigerians have reacted with shock after viral photos of released #EndBadGovernance protesters who were hosted by the Kaduna State Governor surfaced online.
A few days ago, young boys said to be between 10 and 19 years were araigned in court on charges of treason after their arrest in August.
They were charged for participating in the #EndBadGovernance protest and accused of plotting to overthrow the government. However, following public outcry, the charges against them were dropped, leading to their release.
Another set of photos said to be different from the malnourished children surfaced after a gesture from the Kaduna State Government under the leadership of Sani Uba. He gifted mobile phones and a sum of N100,000 to each of the newly released #EndBadGovernance protesters in the state.
However, many Nigerians couldn’t help but notice the inconsistency in the photos of the arranged #EndBadGovernance minors versus the ones handed gifts.
The reactions:
amid_freshoutboi: “These guys look different from those we saw in court na.”
mc_apapa: “Even metamorphosis no dey happen this fast, children turn adults overnight.”
randosmedia: “Wow. What an Overnight Growth. From Minors to Adults! Na Thunder go fire all of una. Na Only Mumu una go deceive sha.”
the_bond_villain: “It’s the beards that did it for me a whole minor abi miner.”
etanolgram: “I don’t understand, were these the same kids we saw in court. Abi them mature within few days? Because I no dey understand the kind long heads wey I dey see for here.”
