• Daniel Regha has shared his take on the news that President Tinubu ordered the release of the minors arrested some months ago

• Several social media users agreed with Daniel who added that the minors were unfairly treated and their human rights were violated

Media personality Daniel Regha has reacted to President Bola Tinubu's order to release the minors arrested during the August nationwide protest.

The children were kept in a cell and deprived of food which made them look malnourished. Their case was handled by a judge who granted them N10m bail. This sparked outrage on social media.

In his reaction, Tinubu ordered their release and Daniel noted that it was nothing to praise the politician for.
