Timi Frank, a prominent Nigerian political activist and former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has commended President Bola Tinubu for the release of minors who were detained during protests. Frank hailed the move as a positive step toward addressing human rights concerns and upholding justice.
However, Frank also called for compensation for the detained minors, stressing the need for the government to take responsibility for the emotional and psychological trauma they may have experienced during their detention. His statement underlines the importance of ensuring that minors, who should be protected by law, are not unjustly treated during times of unrest or protests. This request for compensation also reflects broader calls for accountability and reform in the handling of such cases by Nigerian authorities.
