Nigerian president frees children who collapsed in court

In a statement on Monday, President Tinbula’s spokesman Bayo Onanuga said that it was his wish that the release of the children did not prejudice the ongoing legal action.

Reuters reported, citing Information Minister Mohammed Idris, that the treason charges against the children had been dropped.

Mr Onanuga said the Nigerian humanitarian affairs ministry had been asked “to ensure the safe return of all the minors to their families while an investigation has been opened into the circumstances leading to their prolonged detention”.

When the courtroom footage emerged, Nigerian rights organisation Enough is Enough said they had been subjected to “institutional child abuse”.

Amnesty International described the children’s detention was “one of the deadliest attempts to suppress freedom of assembly” so far.
