The Nigerian Police Force has denied comments by a former senator, Shehu Sani that some young Nigerians who were arrested during the EndSARS protest of 2020 were still in detention.
The Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun in a statement issued on his behalf on Sunday by Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi asserted that there are “no EndSARS protesters still in detention”.
Sen Sani had while speaking at the 2024 Democracy Day Dinner on June 12, 2024, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, called on President Bola Tinubu to ensure the release of the detained young people.
