Few days ago, the news of Gift, a young boy who wore the police uniform and declared himself the new IG of police was posted here. I opined that all we needed is a good lawyer to help him out and assist in training him. Here is the good news. Read for yourself.
One victory for democracy. More to come.
I am positive, he'll surely become the police IG somedays for a better Nigeria

"We have been able to secure the unconditional release of the 11 year old boy by name Gift Osayuhi whose picture went viral on social media yesterday for allegedly joining some miscreants to break into Oba Market Police station, took their police Uniform,wore it and declared himself as the new IG of Police during the ENDSARS protest.
The boy was released to us after we undertook to rehabilitate and reform him. The young boy said his dream is to become the IG of Police and we also undertook to ensure the boy is giving a proper education so as to help help him achieve his dream.
