Tinubu orders the release of the endbadgovernance minors

President Bola Tinubu on Monday directed the Attorney-General of the Federation to ensure the immediate release of the minors detained by the Nigeria Police in connection to last August’s protests without prejudice to any ongoing legal processes.

The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, announced this newsmen during an emergency briefing at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.

Idris said after examining the circumstances surrounding the cases, Tinubu issued the directive and emphasised the importance of balancing legal processes with humanitarian concerns.

The directive came days after the 76 people, including 30 minors, were charged with treason and inciting a military coup as a result of waving Russian flags during the #EndBadGovernance protests against economic hardship.
