#EndBadGovernance protests: Reps Minority Caucus demand punitive measures against perpetrators, hail Tinubu, AGF for releasing minors
Following the immediate release of about 76 young kids charged for terrorism, treason, and arson by the Nigerian Police Force for participating at the #EndBadGovernance protest, the Minority Caucus of the House of Representatives lauds President Bola Tinubu for being responsive to calls by Nigerians, and the international community.
In a statement jointly signed by all principal officers in the Caucus, Rep Kingsley Chinda, leader, Ali Isa J.C
(Minority Whip)
Hon. Aliyu Madaki
(Deputy Minority Leader) Rep George Ozodinobi
(Deputy Minority Whip) said:
“We commend President Tinubu for his prompt directive, coming few days after the arraignment of the children which led to the Attorney-General of the Federation seeking to assume control, and termination of the suit charge entirely.
“While we extol the President for the timely intervention, the Caucus strongly canvass for the possible investigation, prosecution, and discipline of individuals, and government agencies involved in the despicable, callous, and inhuman action that has led to national disgrace, and global condemnation.
” Anybody, and institution that played roles in the hounding of the children into cells for about 95 days when they should be at their respective schools, trades, and vocations must be brought to book for necessary public umbrage, and punitive measures discharged to serve as deterrent to others.
“Conscious of the psychological trauma, and health challenges the children may have experienced, we appeal that quality reformatory therapy sessions, and medical support be advanced to them as they unite with their respective families.
“Also, we call for immediate reparation packages to the victims and their families to ameliorate the untoward hardship, pain, and emotional torture suffered during the period of unlawful incarceration.
