Mention The Name Of Police Facilities #EndSARS Protesters Are Detained; Alliance Challenges TBM

The Integrity Youth Alliance has challenged the Take It Back Movement to mention any police facilities across Nigeria where the under-listed were detained by the police for participating in the #EndSARS protest: Dare Williams, Daniel Joyibo, Adigun Sodiq, Ismail Mufutau, Ismail Olaogun, Rasheed Wasiu Bolaji, and Moshood Biola.

In a press release on Monday, 17th June 2024, signed by the Alliance Board Chairman, Comrade Adewole Kehinde recalled that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu inaugurated the Judicial Panel of Inquiry on October 19, 2020, to investigate alleged cases of brutality and human rights violations perpetrated by the police and operatives of the dissolved Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), and no single person arrested was detained beyond the stipulated time.

“It was on record that 26 states set up their judicial panels to investigate alleged cases of brutality and human rights violations perpetrated by the police and operatives of the dissolved Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), and they include Katsina, Kogi, Kwara, Ekiti, Osun, Ogun, Lagos, Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Anambra, Bauchi, Gombe, Plateau, Adamawa, Taraba, Nasarawa, Enugu, Ebonyi, Benue, Cross River, Abia, Imo, Akwa Ibom, and Rivers State, respectively.

 

“The Take It Back Movement should know that gone are those days when you make allegations without evidence and go away with it. Section 125 of the Criminal Code Act is very clear on the punishment for that, Adewole said.

It will be recalled that the Nigeria Police Force had on Sunday denied having any #EndSARS protester unlawfully detained in its custody or being detained by other security agencies across the country.

In a response to the Nigeria Police statement issued by ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Nigeria Police Force spokesperson, regarding the detention of #EndSARS protesters, the Take It Back Movement claimed that it demanded the immediate and unconditional release of the seven protesters (Dare Williams, Daniel Joyibo, Adigun Sodiq, Ismail Mufutau, Ismail Olaogun, Rasheed Wasiu Bolaji, and Moshood Biola) that we know are still being held illegally in detention centres across Nigeria.
