Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has expressed disappointment over the federal government’s decision to release minors arrested during the #EndBadGovernance protests in August. Zulum argued that the minors should have been sent to remand homes as a corrective measure to deter others from engaging in similar acts of dissent.

The governor criticized the federal authorities for missing an opportunity to instill discipline in the younger generation. He stated that instead of releasing the minors, they should have been taken to a remand home or rehabilitation center to serve as a deterrent.

Zulum’s comments came after President Bola Tinubu ordered the release of the underage children arraigned before the Federal High Court, following national and global outrage and condemnation. The minors were arrested during the #EndBadGovernance protests in August and were charged with treason.
