No fewer than nine youths who were taking part in the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest in Akure, the Ondo State capital on Saturday have been arrested.
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.
One of the protesters, Tope Temokun, told newsmen that 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.”
When contacted the state Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs Funmilayo Odunlami, said she would get back but was yet to do so at the time of filing this report.
“I am in a meeting, I will get back to you shortly,” the PPRO stated.
