The footage reveals minors, some so weak that they could barely stand, others fainting from sheer exhaustion and lack of nourishment, said politician Peter Obi.
Amnesty International condemned the minors' horrifying detentions for participating in protests against hunger and corruption, calling it one of the deadliest attempts to suppress freedom of assembly.
The office of the Nigerian Inspector General of Police denied having subjected the detainees to ill-treatment, saying that medical aid was provided to the defendants.
The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project called on President Bola Tinubu to use his leadership position to release the minors within the next 48 hours.
