The minors previously detained for their participation in the #EndBadGovernance protests have now arrived at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Following President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's directive for their release and reunification with family or guardians, the minors are expected to meet with Vice President Kashim Shettima.
The Vice President will formally hand them over to their respective state governors, who will oversee their safe return home.
The minors, along with other protesters, had been discharged by the Federal High Court in Abuja after Justice Obiora Egwatu dismissed the case at the request of the Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi.
This development follows the initial charges filed by the Nigeria Police Force, which were subsequently dropped in line with recent government decisions.
Governors of Kaduna, Uba Sani and Kano, Abba Yusuf are already on ground at the Presidential Villa.
Ministers of Education, Tunji Alausa, of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Nentawe Yilwatda, Environment, Balarabe Lawal are also around.
Others are minister of state of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Tanko Sununu.
Senior Special Assistant on Community Engagement Northwest, Abdullahi Yakasai are present at the State House Auditorium, Abuja.
