The Nigeria Police Force says none of the protesters arrested during the October 2020 demonstration against police brutality and extrajudicial killings is still in detention. 

Force spokesman Muyiwa Adejobi made this known in a statement on Sunday.

The police described as untrue claims by Shehu Sani, a former lawmaker who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District, that some of the youths detained for the #EndSARS protest are still in custody.

In 2020, some Nigerian youths took to the streets to protest against police brutality and the situation in the country. 

But in the wake of the protest, some police stations, formations, and officers were damaged across the country, leading to some arrests.
