Apparently worried by the negative publicity,
national outrage and international condemnation that have greeted the poor conditions of the minors who were arrested, detained and now facing prosecution in court over their alleged involvement in the #EndBadGovernance protest, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed that they should immediately be released without prejudice to the law.
President Tinubu also directed the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction to see to the welfare of the minors.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, disclosed this while briefing State House correspondents, in Abuja.
The Minister said that the President said all the law enforcement agents involved in the arrest, detention and prosecution of the minors be investigated and anyone found culpable, would face appropriate disciplinary action.
