Vice- President Kashim Shettima has implored the 119 released minors to strive to be responsible citizens as they unite with their families in Kano and Kaduna States.

Shettima made the call yesterday while handing over the 119 released minors to Gov. Abba Yusuf of Kano and Gov. Uba Sani of Kaduna, at the auditorium of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The vice-president admonished the minors not to allow themselves to be used to perpetrate violence and destroy public and private property.

According to him, over N300 billion was lost in the protests, consisting mainly of private property and loss of business.

Shettima also urged their Governors and elected representatives across political divides to ensure that the children were rehabilitated and reintegrated to the fabric of their communities.
