Bad Governance Protest: Governor Yusuf hands over 76 minors to their parents

The Kano State Government has formally handed over the 76 minors arrested during the End Bad Governance protest to their parents, with a warning to them not to seek donations and support.

Governor Abba Yusuf, through his Chief of Staff, Shehu Wada Sagagi, commended President Tinubu for his gracious approval to withdraw the charges against the minors which was considered an injustice against them.

The Governor noted that what had happened was a great historical teaching to everyone that violence does not pay and joining things that are against the law is condemnable.

He said, “The government would not condone parents under the guise of Parents Association tasking people to collect donations and or support for their children, this government will not take it lightly with anybody.

“Our government knows that what happened at the End Bad Governance protest shows that government at all levels must wake up to the challenges of unemployment and lack of education.

The State Commissioner for Health, Dr Abubakar Labaran Yusuf, informed that all the minors were treated for one illness or the other, were successfully given medical attention and are all alright.

Hamza Nuhu Dantani, Counsel to the victims said the young persons went through incarceration because although protest is not a crime, it becomes criminal when people destroy and maim others, advising the young people to do more and make their parents proud.

US President, Biden grants 2,500 clemency

The outgoing President of the United States, Joe Biden, on Friday granted clemency to at least 2,500 people convicted of nonviolent drug offences in what the White House called the largest single-day act of clemency in US history.

Biden, in a statement, said those whose sentences were commuted were serving disproportionately long sentences compared to what they would receive.

He described the move as an important step toward righting historical wrongs, correcting sentencing disparities, and providing deserving individuals with the opportunity to return to their families.

“With this action, I have now issued more individual pardons and commutations than any president in US history,” Biden said.

The outgoing president added that he may issue further commutations or pardons before he hands over power to President-elect Donald Trump on Monday.

DAILY POST recalls that Biden commuted the sentences of nearly 1,500 people and pardoned 39 others last month.

Among those pardoned in December was Biden’s son Hunter, who was facing a possible prison sentence after being convicted of gun and tax crimes.

Meanwhile, Biden has reportedly been debating whether to issue blanket pardons for some allies and former officials amid fears they could be targeted for what Trump has previously called retribution.

DAILY POST recalls that Biden, in December, commuted the death sentences of 37 of the 40 inmates on federal death row.
