According to Idris, the President directed that the minors be released immediately, without affecting any ongoing legal proceedings.
Additionally, Tinubu instructed the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction to ensure the welfare of the minors and facilitate their safe reunion with their families or guardians nationwide.
The President also called for the establishment of a committee, led by the humanitarian affairs ministry, to investigate the circumstances surrounding the minors’ arrest, detention, treatment, and eventual release.
