The Nigeria Police Force has clarified that anyone over the age of seven can legally face court charges if found culpable.

This statement, issued by police spokesperson ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, was in response to public criticism over the recent arraignment of 67 minors in Abuja, accused of treason and public property damage during an “End Bad Governance” protest.

In an interview with Channels TV, Adejobi explained, “Those below age seven cannot be criminally liable. Once above seven, a person can be charged, though certain procedures must be followed.”

He added that none of the charged minors are younger than 13, which legally qualifies them for court proceedings under the Children and Young Persons Act.
