The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi ii, has said most of the 76 detained and released minors who protested against bad governance, were on the verge of Death because of the harsh conditions they were subjected to, if not for the quick response of the President Tinubu who ordered for their immediate released.
Emir Muhammadu Sanusi ii who was speaking, on Wednesday, at the Muhammadu Buhari Specialist Hospital, Kano, where the 76 released protesters were kept, said, “We really appreciate and thank President Tinubu who saved the lives of these Boys”.
He said, “It is disheartening that the boys were students going to schools and were not even there on the day of the protests when they were picked while the real organizers and sponsors of the actions were left moving freely both in Kano and Abuja”.
“We would like to see people who are behind any negative actions been arrested henceforth not innocent children who were picked variously not from one angle of Kano”.
The Emir, who emphasized his gratitude to both the Government of Kano State and the Federal Government, explained that their intervention has safeguarded an ugly trend that would have caused disaffection in the country.
“It is sad that they received this treatment despite the fact that they were picked up from the streets and not around the protest venues. Photos of the real culprit were taken but today they are moving freely”.
Muhammadu Sanusi also asked the Federal Government to focus on those behind such actions rather than children.
