Meanwhile, 15 people have also been reported missing after the police attacked other members of the group around the Ikeja Along area; one of the protesters, Jamiu Towolawi, confirmed.
Towolawi while speaking said, “As at the last count, we have confirmed the arrest of 20 people and 15 are still missing. They shot tear gas at us at Ikeja Underbridge and brutalised our people. Agba Jalingo is among those arrested.”
Before the arrests were made, Towolawi disclosed that more than 100 of the protesters had converged on the Ikeja office of the Committee for the Defense of Human Rights for a press briefing.
