The Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi has given reasons why the force charged #EndBadGovernance suspects to court even if most of them are below the adult age of 18.

Adejobi insisted that in line with the constitution, the force did no wrong in arraigning the children.

He revealed that while none of them is less than 7, the youngest suspect is 13, a situation that is justified by the Children and Young Persons Act.

The Force PRO said that the minors who were so violent, took advantage of the protest and hijacked it to cause mayhem, brandishing the Russian flag. For this reason, they are criminally liable.
