From End SARS to HuBaGo: We have learnt nothing and forgotten Nothing

...Anyway, Nigerians were shocked when they were released because the images of freed protesters they saw differed widely from those they saw at the courts. How come that minors were arraigned but adults were released? Well, there were 32 minors and 44 others and the press, out of compassion, mischief or predetermined agenda, showed only the minors. Furthermore, the ex detainees were welcomed as heroes and in line with our usual antics, they became instant celebrities, and were rewarded by the governments. Kaduna State government gave its own people N100000 and Android phone apiece while Kano gave N50000, promised to pay their fees and offered automatic employment to two of them. Do you offer employment to minors? I also wonder how these gestures will keep these fellows the streets! Is this a reward for the looting, vandalization, arson and mayhem? Should they have released the minors with the bearded adults? How about others being tried in other courts across the land? Instead of freeing the minors and charging the rest with rioting, arson and actions likely to perjure public peace (rather than treason), we FREED all of them. Furthermore, some EndSARS detainees are still in detention. Has this got anything to do with the location( North and South)? Anyway, one mans ‘treasonist’ became another man’s hero!
