…arrest, manhandle many
Police, on Saturday, fired teargas canisters at hundreds of youth who converged on the force headquarters to protest brutality and intimidation by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad.
The protesters had stormed the police headquarters, demanding to have an audience with the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu.
They had vowed to spend the night in front of the Force Headquarters, refusing to listen to the plea of the officers who addressed them.
The protesters had brought foods and drinks in preparation for the overnight activity.
But the youths had to scamper to safety when the police fired teargas canisters at them.
Some of them were reportedly arrested and manhandled by the officers.
