Oh wow same Almajiri kids APC used to kick out Goodluck Jonathan.
These are kids, it's a shame that it ever got to court, the prosecution should be ashamed of themselves.
So if I get government issued ID, I could lay claim to Dayo's multi billion naira assets in Nigeria, let me contacts my Oluwole cousins
That these kids have govt issued ID stating they are adults doesn't make them adult, if government doesn't want to open the can of worms of how they get those documents then they should just set them free.

BlueRayDick:


Which age claim are u talking about here ? Even a blind man can see they are minors . Or are u saying they arrested them with valid ID cards on them claiming a different age ?

Because I’m not just understanding how u people just try to muddling things up over glaring issues .

Government recognized them as adult and AGF wants charges to be dropped against them ? 😂😂😂

BlueRayDick:


How do u always come up with these conclusions ? 🤦‍♂️

If minors are used for election fraud, it is the job of government and its agencies to fish out all adults involved in that fraud and prosecute them. Has the government done that ? No! Why ? Because the election fraud has favored the government . ( Ues it was in the wake of 2019 presidential elections we saw pictures of kids on voters register and that favored Buhari’s second term bid)

Now if a kid is alleged to have committed a crime , the law says u can only that kid within the child judicial system. There is no ifs and buts . The law does not say if the child is almajiri such child should be taken to an adult court to be tried or remanded in an adult prison . That is not the law .

Let’s not start bringing issues that are independent of each other just to win an argument . The reason why the AGF is stepping in at this point is because he has seen the obvious mess up from the government’s side. It’s as simple as that .

GloriousGbola:


This issue is going to be revisited multiple times going forward. Because this is the first time children have been arrested up north. Actually maybe not. I am fairly sure we will find the same has happened during multiple shitte clashes with security agencies.

If this embarrassment means that this is the last time children will be used as political pawns by all parties involved, great. But I think we both know that will not be the case.

raumdeuter:


The key difference is that the ID is not Oluwole. It's genuine and there can't be 2 Dayos. That's the purpose of an ID in the first place which is why I can't claim to be Tinubu or Dangote and go claim their money in a bank

Bro, the kids ID are invalid because they were gotten using false pretense, nitori owo ina, doesn't make it valid.

raumdeuter:


The blind man who saw them voting and their leaders/parents claimed they are adults when many people think they look like minors

It seemed to us that they were minors during elections but their parents claimed they were adults with evidence of a proper original govt ID.

It's that same ID that is now being used to get their age regardless of what your eyes tell you.

Charges are dropped against adults all the time in court

I don tell u position of the law , u can decide that we with it or not.

In the long run , the FG will do what it believes is right before the law. Shebi na the same FG went on wild goose chase prosecuting finance executives wasting tax payers money only to drop charges recently .

No be today dem Dey fold when it’s glaring they have messed up .

BlueRayDick:


Lmao 🤣

Whatever makes u sleep well at night

The position of the law is also the issue. These are obvious kids, but they somehow have government ID saying they are adults. That is the point of government Id.an infallible document that identifies you.

The question is what happens next? Will their ids be revoked? Will the government embark on voter Id regularization?

BlueRayDick:


I want to ask you a question ; Have u seen the IDs of those 37 minors docked ? The IDs you saw did it show you their ages above 18?

If the answer to these questions is yes, please share me link to those IDs

raumdeuter:


So you know instances of govt dropping charges against adults? This is what makes me sleep at night. The truth

GloriousGbola:


It is whatever id on them that was used to classify them. Is that not how arrests work?

seankafor:
Omo but make we dey tell ourselves truth sometimes irrespective how bad we hate the government or president..

Why will those illiterate kids fly a Russian flag in Nigeria territory? Don't you know it's a call for treason and overthrow of government..
I get the kids are just pawns and the main orchestras are still at large.

Those kids, their parents and everyone around them played some stupid games and deserves to win some stupid prices..

This would’ve made sense exactly for the fact that FG will drop charges against the minors while they will proceed with prosecution of the adults .

Which will only lead us to the conclusion that government and its agencies goofed docking obvious minors with adults . They only had to save face following the public outrage . Simlple

Any other thing na megefegede

raumdeuter:


FG can drop charges for anything.
They cannot drop charges because they are minors since the govt document showed they are adults

FG claiming they are minors will be an own goal scored

They will rather claim they dropped charges because of health issues(we have already seen some fainting) and wrong allegations being filed against them

When they dropped Binance guy charges I'm sure they will tie it to health or something that wouldn't be an own goal on govt

All these mental gymnastics na for ur pocket o.

When the story will be written in the future , it will be said that the federal government docked minors with adults following the EndBadGovernance protests, the charges against the minors were dropped following public outcry and that’s that.

You may not like it that way , but it is what it is.

raumdeuter:


That will be your own interpretation, Govt will never claim they are minors when the same govt have identified them as adults

Omo 🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️

Partly explains why children that many will be arrested and no parent raised alarm.

Also, the defence counsel for all 119 defendants, Marshall Abubakar, in a telephone conversation with our correspondent, confirmed that steps were being taken to drop the charges against the children this week, especially since the AGF had requested transfer of the case file.

“The government has been calling; the AGF has called. I think, most likely, by next week (this week) we will get the charges thrown out,” Abubakar said.

He also confirmed that the minors among the 119 remanded protesters were in the custody of the SARS IRT, adding that they were kept in a large hall as the purported Borstal system for juvenile detention was non-existent.

“The children were taken to IRT SARS. There is a big hall there where they are kept because there is actually no Borstal Centre.”
