Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), has taken a decisive step towards dropping charges against 32 minors who recently appeared before Justice Obiora Egwuatu at the Federal High Court in Abuja. Representing all 119 defendants in the case, attorney Marshall Abubakar revealed that efforts to dismiss charges against the minors could conclude this week, following a directive from the AGF for the case file’s immediate transfer.
Speaking on the government’s intervention, Abubakar noted, “The government has been calling; the AGF has called. I think, most likely, by next week (this week),” hinting that official proceedings to release the minors are well underway.
