Following the freezing of bank accounts of #EndSARS promoters by the Central Bank of Nigeria, the Lagos State police command has arrested, Eromosele Adenle, for participating the protest.
Though, the police is yet to reveal reasons behind his arrest, but it is not unconnected to the #EndSARS protest, as admins of #EndSARS groups on WhatsApp have also been reportedly arrested.
Adenle, in a series of tweets before he was taken away by policemen attached to the Area F Command, Ikeja, said, “I cannot record because I do not have a phone. The Federal Government of Nigeria is about to ‘arrest’ me for exercising my human rights! Their guns are out and they have broken my gates and are in my house!”
He shared photos of a white Hilux van and men suspected to be policemen alighting from the vehicle.
The government has in the last two weeks clamped down on several persons, believed to be major participants of the #EndSARS protests, which sought to end police brutality.
Queen Fisayo Aderemi and Babawale Popoola were also arrested in Osun State, they are said to be co-conveners of the protest in the state.
Aside freezing bank accounts of the alleged promoters, another #EndSARS promoter, Modupe Odele, was prevented from travelling last week and had her passport seized by the Nigeria Immigration Service at the Murtala International Airport in Lagos.
