<h2>Ahmed Isah, also known as the “Ordinary President,” has ordered the shutdown of the popular Brekete Family program on Monday, November 4, citing outrage over the detention of minors involved in the #EndBadGovernance protest. </h2>

The suspension of Human Rights Radio, where Isah’s program airs, follows <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/news/video-5-teenagers-arraigned-for-bad-governance-protest-collapse-in-court/mcx3hh5">the recent arraignment of 76 hunger protesters,</a> including minors, at the Federal High Court in Abuja.

The incident has sparked national and international condemnation. Last Friday, as the protesters faced charges, some collapsed while awaiting arraignment. The accused individuals, detained across multiple states, including Abuja, Kaduna, and Kano, face severe allegations, including treason.

Bail was set at a staggering ₦10 million each, and the prosecutor requested the removal of collapsed individuals from the charges.

Ahmed Isah, whose Brekete Family program advocates for social justice and human rights, expressed profound dismay at the treatment of the detained minors.

Speaking live on air via phone at 8:20 a.m., Isah directed the immediate suspension of the program in protest.

“Terminate the program,” he announced. “This is part of our protest. Tell every complainant to go home. The government should do the right thing.”

Isah further urged Nigerians to voice their dissent, stating, “Tomorrow, we are not going to do the program. We will open the phone lines, and Nigerians will call in from all over the world until these children are released unconditionally.”

The abrupt shutdown underscores rising public frustration with the government’s handling of the protesters, and Isah’s call has sparked widespread support across social media and beyond.
