Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, has lamented the condition of school children who are currently camped in the forest by terrorists.
During the EndBadGovernance protest in Lagos, Friday, Falana, who called for their immediate release, said the children kidnapped in Oyo and Borno States are suffering in the forests.
“Those kids are suffering. No medical attention, no food for them. And so for us as Nigerians, all of us are in custody, one way or the other,” he said.
Falana also pointed out that economic hardship bedevilling the nation is man-made, stating that the country has what it takes to make citizens happy.
“We are also protesting hunger in the land, poverty in the land, and we are calling on the government that there is no basis for poverty in Nigeria.
Our country has enormous material, natural resources and capital resources to make our people happy”, he added.
