Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf has expressed his gratitude for the release of 76 minors who were detained in connection with the demonstrations. The governor clarified that he was not aware of the minors' arrest until their arraignment at the Federal High Court in Abuja. Speaking at the Muhammadu Buhari Special Hospital, where a medical team was assigned to assess the physical and mental health of the released children, Governor Yusuf stated, "On learning of the matter, I promptly directed the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice to take charge of the case."
Governor Yusuf extended his thanks to President Bola Tinubu for his compassionate intervention in securing the children's freedom. He also commended the parents for their patience and resilience during the ordeal, acknowledging their "fervent prayers and demonstrated maturity" throughout the process.
The governor assured families that his administration is committed to reuniting the children with their families and providing them with essential support, including opportunities to engage in small-scale businesses. Emphasizing the importance of education, Yusuf pledged that the state government would ensure the minors return to school to build a better future and contribute to the state's development.
