A northern organisation under the auspices of the Arewa Broadcast Media Practitioners’ Forum has called on President Bola Tinubu to arrest and prosecute all those involved in the arrest, detention and maltreatment of young children and charging them treason.
The group, in a statement issued by its Chairman, Alhaji Abdullahi Yelwa, in Abuja on Sunday, said it shares in the ‘repulsion and disbelief of Nigerians after seeing images of the children who were physically terrorized and malnourished youth, some of them juveniles, paraded before an Abuja court for charges of high treason against the Nigerian state.’
Yelwa said the action of the police was not only an irresponsible act of inhumanity that has attracted national and international outrage, but one that will forever be a stain on the national consciousness of democratic country.
