Shehu Sani calls on FG to free protesters who have been jailed.

Senator Shehu Sani has condemned the detention of minors involved in recent protests, labeling it both unfortunate and a shameful episode for Nigeria’s democratic principles. He has called on the government to take immediate action by releasing these young protesters.

The former lawmaker, who represented the Kaduna Central Senatorial zone during the 8th Senate, has urged the Federal Government to drop all charges against the detained minors and ensure their safe return to their home states.

In a statement shared on his X account on Friday, Senator Sani remarked, “The detention of minors for participating in protests is not only regrettable but also tarnishes the integrity of our democracy. It is essential that the Federal Government rescinds these charges and facilitates their return to their communities.” He emphasized the need for a more compassionate approach toward youth engagement in civic activities, stressing that fostering an environment where young people can express their views freely is vital for the nation’s democratic health.
