Activist Deji Adeyanju has strongly criticized the Federal Government for detaining young protesters while prominent figures remain untouched. Adeyanju questioned why the government detained children involved in recent anti-government protests but has not taken action against Governor Yahaya Bello, despite allegations leveled against him.
Adeyanju’s remarks come as public outcry grows over the detention of 75 minors, aged 12 to 15, facing serious charges, including terrorism. Civil rights groups and political figures have condemned the government’s treatment of these minors, viewing it as an overreach that diverts attention from critical issues.
This backlash highlights growing concerns over selective enforcement and priorities within the justice system. Many Nigerians share Adeyanju’s sentiment, calling for consistency in addressing issues of alleged misconduct at all levels.
