Breaking: Tinubu orders youngsters detained for protesting #EndBadGovernance to be released

All kids detained and arrested in connection with the #EndBadGovernance demonstration have been ordered to be released by President Bola Tinubu.
Mohammed Idris, Minister of Information and National Orientation, revealed this to State House reporters on Monday.
Sunday Dare, Special Adviser on Public Communications and Orientation, and Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, accompanied the Minister.

No matter where they are in the nation, the President has ordered that all minors be released and reunited with their families. To examine the problems pertaining to their arrest, incarceration, and release, a committee has been established. Every law enforcement official involved in the matter will be subject to an investigation, and those who are found to be at fault will face consequences,” he stated.

76 #EndBadGovernance protestors, including kids, were arraigned before Justice Obiora Egwuatu of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday by Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun.

Outrage was triggered by viral videos of the undernourished kids, and several civil society organizations demanded that they be released from custody immediately and without conditions.
Thirty-two of the 76 demonstrators were children when they were arraigned in two batches.


At least 20 people were shot dead and hundreds more were taken into custody at a protest in August calling for improved employment and opportunity for youth.
