Police backtracked after grabbing students during a protest. Force spokesman Benjamin Hundeyin stated the Inspector General ordered Edo State's Commissioner to release any genuine students arrested. This follows a recent incident where police units required reinforcement to handle the demonstration, with senior officers, including the Area Commander, arriving on scene.
Hundeyin acknowledged a level of public distrust toward law enforcement despite ongoing advocacy efforts. He explained that calling for backup represents standard procedure when a situation escalates beyond local control. The spokesman emphasized a desire for closer collaboration between the police and communities moving forward.
