Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has dismissed reports suggesting that minors were arrested during the recent #EndBadGovernance protests
Egbetokun clarified that those detained were criminal elements engaged in arson, destruction of property, and looting of shops and public facilities, not peaceful protesters or minors.
Speaking at a workshop on enhancing professionalism in criminal investigation, held at the Police Resource Centre in Abuja, Egbetokun expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for directing the release of those wrongfully arrested.
The IGP also said that police officers caught escorting 100 foreigners, including Chinese and Malaysian nationals, who were detained for alleged cybercrime activities in Abuja, were not formally deployed for such duties.
He emphasized, however, that nobody, including any minor, was detained simply for protesting.
IGP also warned that any police officer found compromising an investigation would face strict disciplinary action, reiterating that officers who detained minors would not be sanctioned, as they acted in response to criminal activities, not against peaceful protesters.
