The fact that minors were detained for over 90 days without prompt attention from the President\u2019s office raises concerns about the effectiveness of our intelligence agencies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe urge the President to investigate this lapse and consider replacing intelligence chiefs who failed to bring this matter to his attention.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frank also demanded that the probe ordered by the President should start from the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, the Commissioners of Police in-charge of Kano and Kaduna states who arrested the minors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis probe must not be swept under the rug, we shall monitor to ensure that the findings are made public and appropriate sanctions meted out to officers found to be complicit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure adequate justice for the victimised and oppressed minors, Frank urged the federal government to provide financial assistance to their families, offer the minors scholarships and enroll them in reputable boarding schools to help them overcome their traumatic experiences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe minors should also be availed the services of professional counsellors to address any emotional or psychological distress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy taking these steps, we can begin to heal the wounds of the past and build a more just and compassionate society for all Nigerians,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Nigeria Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
