Vice President Kashim Shettima has said President Bola Tinubu ordered the release of the minors facing trial for treason on compassionate grounds.

Shettima revealed this at the Presidential Villa while receiving the minors shortly after their charges were dropped by the Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi.

He called on the governments of Kaduna and Kano States to anchor the rehabilitation of the suspects so they can be reintegrated into the social fabric of their respective communities and society at large.

The Vice President described President Tinubu as a compassionate leader who cares for all Nigerians and is leaving no stone unturned in the bid to improve the nation’s economy.
