A Nigerian court has recently made a significant decision to release 119 individuals, including minors, who were facing charges related to protests that took place in August. The protests were sparked by economic hardships experienced by the citizens.
The accused individuals were charged with serious offenses such as treason and inciting a military coup. These charges carried severe penalties, including the death penalty. However, following the intervention of President Bola Tinubu, all minors detained during the protests were ordered to be released, and the charges against them were dropped.
