By Abdullahi Yusuf

Sen. Sani Musa (APC Niger East) and Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, on Monday praised President Bola Tinubu for promptly ordering the release of minors arrested in connection with the EndBadGovernance protests.

Sen. Musa in a statement issued to newsmen in Kano said the President’s action demonstrated his commitment to listen to the people’s concerns and aspirations.

“I commend the President for his decisive and compassionate directive to release all the detained minors and ensure that they are safely reunited with their families across the country.

“This action demonstrates a profound commitment to justice and humanity and reflects a true spirit of leadership.

“It is both a relief and a source of reassurance for families affected by these unfortunate incidents,” he said.

He, however ,expressed dismay over what he called the senseless conduct exhibited by the
Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, his comments on the minors and the involvement of police prosecutors.

The lawmaker said that such actions not only undermined public trust in law enforcement agencies and contradicted the principles of justice and the welfare of our children.

“I urge that a thorough investigation, as directed, brings accountability to those responsible, and I call upon all stakeholders to ensure that such incidents do not recur.

“Let this stand as a reminder that the rights of minors are to be respected and protected at all times.

“This statement should convey my gratitude for the President’s intervention, appreciation for his leadership, and a firm stance on the need for accountability within law enforcement,” he added.
