Nigeria ‘has no hand in arrest of EndSARS protesters in Egypt’

The Chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa has said that Nigeria has no hand in the arrest of EndSARS protesters in Egypt.

One Dr Olufunmilayo had tweeted that “Nigerians were having a peaceful protest in Cairo Egypt today and the Nigerian Embassy called Egyptian police to arrest them. 20 people now arrested.

“How can nigerians be arrested for peaceful gathering in a Nigerian embassy?”

But responding, Dabiri-Erewa said Nigeria did not call the Egyptian police to arrest any protester.

She addee that the Egyptian police dispersed the protesters before tracing them to a very far place. “They didn’t arrest them at the mission. They came in a bus driven by an Egyptian. The driver has also been arrested. The mission will do all they can. Egypt is very very strict with their laws,” she said.
