Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has praised President Tinubu’s compassionate and fatherly action by ordering the release of the detained 76 protesting minors.
'President Bola Ahmed Tinubu responding to public calls and releasing of the 76 detained minors, who had been arrested following the August 2024 protest, is hugely appreciative, we thanks and commended him for this gesture,' Governor Yusuf said. The governor made the remark after receiving the teenagers from Vice President Kashim Shettima at the Presidential Villa, on Tuesday. Governor Yusuf thanked President Tinubu for his understanding and for granting the minors a second chance.
In a released signed by his spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, the governor added: “In light of the gravity of the charges against them, we recognize the importance of offering these children a second chance. “While their actions were regrettable, their status as minors should not deny them the opportunity to rehabilitate and contribute positively to society.” A team of medical professionals has been designated to assess the physical and mental health of the released minors.
