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 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.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
