#EndBadGovernanceInNigeria: Police arrest Governorship candidate, others in Ondo protest
Men of the Ondo State Police Command have arrested no fewer than nine youths who were taking part in the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest in Akure, the Ondo State capital on Saturday.
It was gathered that the protesters, who converged on the NEPA Roundabout area in Akure, the state capital, were allegedly disrupted by the men of the state police command.
According to one of the protesters, Tope Temokun, some of those arrested are the governorship candidate of the African Action Congress, Kunle Ajayi; Patrix Owolabi, Oluwatobi Akinkuotu, Kolawole Kumuyi and Olalekan Oladehinde.
He said, “The arrest that took place is highly condemnable and stands condemned. If the police has any evidence of violence from the protesters, it should come out with it.”
“I am in a meeting, I will get back to you shortly,” the PPRO stated.
