The denial comes shortly after the Area Commander of Zone, Tunde Adeniran, reportedly confirmed the arrest of the protesters to one of their leaders, by officers of the Ogudu Police Station.
Meanwhile, protest leaders having visited the state police command in Ikeja, Lagos, has not yet been able to confirm the current location of the arrested protesters from police authorities.
