The Governor of Kano State, Abba Yusuf, has demanded the release of the minors facing trial in the Abuja Federal High Court after their arrest during the End Bad Governance Protests
The Kano state commissioner of Information and Internal Affairs, Baba Dantiye, told newsmen about the demand by Yusuf on Sunday.
Dantiye says Yusuf has directed the Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice of that state to take steps toward securing the release of the minors arrested for participating in the #Endbad governance protests in Kano and in Kaduna between August 1 to 10.
This comes after viral videos of the malnourished children sparked outrage with some civil society groups calling for their immediate and unconditional release from detention.
