Tinubu Orders Release of Detained Minors from Recent Protests, Calls for Investigation
President Bola Tinubu has instructed the Attorney General of the Federation to take urgent action to secure the release of minors currently held by the Nigeria Police following recent protests.
His directive emphasizes that the children should be freed as quickly as possible, while still respecting any ongoing legal proceedings.
Additionally, Tinubu has tasked the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs with overseeing the safe return of these minors to their families.
This includes arranging appropriate support to ensure their transition home is handled carefully.
The Ministry’s involvement signals the government’s commitment to address any harm experienced during the minors’ detention.
To understand the situation more fully, an investigation has been launched into the circumstances surrounding the prolonged detention of these children.
The aim is to examine how the youths were held for so long and whether procedures were followed lawfully.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
