Abba Yusuf Calls for Action on Minors Detained from Protests
Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf has requested on the Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice to act on the minors in detention. These minors were part of the protesters arrested on Friday at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
These protesters were arrested upon many charged including treason and urging the government to remove the current president, although the suspects pleaded not guilty for such charges.
This information was reported on the social media account of Dantiye, “The Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, has instructed the state’s Commissioner for Justice to act on the development. “My attention has been drawn to the appearance of teenagers (some believed to be from Kano) in court today (Friday) in Abuja.”
“The Commissioner of Justice has been instructed to act immediately on the issue. We shall do everything possible to get them back to Kano, insha Allah,” the governor’s statement read on X.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
