FG Counsel Refutes Claims of Arraigned Protesters Being Minors, Labels Them Adults and Married Men
The Federal Government’s legal counsel, Rimazonte Ezekiel, has rejected claims that the 67 individuals arraigned for participating in the End Bad Governance protest are minors.
Speaking to newsmen post-arraignment, Ezekiel clarified that the accused are “adults, with most being married men,” contrary to the public belief that they are underage.
“These boys are adults; none of them is a minor. Some are university graduates, and many are married. The children seen at court were merely there to greet their relatives. The actual suspects were detained in Kaduna and Zaria,” he explained.
Ezekiel added that these individuals allegedly used foreign symbols and slogans during the protests, calling for military intervention in Nigeria, which he described as an act against the nation’s democratic values.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
