A group of young lawyers has urged President Bola Tinubu to free former Presidential Reform Task Force boss, Abdulrasheed Maina and his son, Faisal through presidential intervention.
The lawyers under the auspices of the Young Lawyers League of Nigeria claimed that Maina’s health was deteriorating, pleading that their demands be granted on both compassionate and health grounds.
Addressing journalists in Abuja on Thursday, the chairman of the group, Emmanuel Ekwe, said a letter to that effect had been submitted to the president through the office of the Secretary General of the Federation.
He said, “In that letter, we have chronicled our demands that among other things, Maina should be released from detention through lawful presidential intervention.
“Also, we would like to state that his health is deteriorating and we plead with the president to free him on compassionate and health grounds.”

The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has come under heavy criticism after mistakenly disclosing that holiday allowance had been sent to senators’ bank accounts.
Akpabio had, on Monday before the Senate adjourned for annual recess, told his colleagues that money had been sent to them to “enjoy” their holiday, apparently forgetting that the proceeding was being captured on live camera.
Though he made the statement on Monday before adjourning plenary to September 26, the video went viral on social media yesterday.
