Atiku Slams APC Govt Over Ekpoma Arrests Amid Insecurity Protests
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar condemns the Federal Government and Edo State authorities for arrests in Ekpoma after protests against insecurity. The protests in Ekpoma, Esan West Local Government Area, were triggered by rising kidnappings, including a recent abduction and killing.
Atiku criticizes the Bola Tinubu-led administration for suppressing civic expression amidst the country's insecurity crisis. The Edo State government dismisses the unrest as organized riots, refuting claims that students were among those arrested.
The Nigerian Police remanded 52 suspects, including students, facing various charges related to the unrest.
