#EndBadGovernanceInNigeria: Police fault Amnesty International’s claims, say seven died, 681 Arrested
The Nigeria Police Force says a total of 681 criminal elements were arrested for committing various offences between Thursday and Friday.
This was as the police stated that personnel deployed for the protests had been professional.
The police made this known while responding to the report released by Amnesty International which accused security agencies of killing 13 protesters on the first day of the protest.
The international organisation also slammed the security personnel for deliberately employing tactics designed to kill while managing gatherings and using firearms as a tactical tool for protest management.
According to reports on Friday that Amnesty International condemned the killing of 13 protesters allegedly killed by security personnel across Nigeria, describing the incident as “unjustified and unacceptable”.
The Country Director, Isa Sanusi, disclosed this in a statement on Friday.
However, the Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, in a statement on Saturday, disagreed with AI’s figures and the allegations levelled against the security operatives.
