Bola Tinubu orders immediate release of 27 teenagers accused of treason.

Four of them collapsed during court appearance on Friday , apparently due to malnourishment.

They were accused of flying Russian flags and planning to overthrow the Nigerian government.

Videos of them writhing in pain before being taken for medical treatment sparked outrage.

They had been in custody for nearly three months following anti-government protests.
