In a move that has drawn widespread praise, President Bola Tinubu ordered the release of 29 children who were previously facing the death penalty over charges related to nationwide protests.
The children were among dozens of protestors arrested during demonstrations sparked by economic hardship and calls for government reform. Their harsh sentences had sparked outrage from human rights organizations and international observers who called for clemency.
President Tinubu’s decision to release these minors marks an important step toward justice and healing, especially for families and communities deeply affected by the unrest.

Human rights advocates have welcomed the move, describing it as a signal that the government is willing to listen and take corrective action.
The release is seen as a chance for Nigeria to rebuild trust between the government and its youth, many of whom have expressed frustration with the country’s current challenges.
As the nation watches closely, this decision may set a precedent for how future protest-related cases are handled.
