The FCT Police Command has confirmed the arrest of 60 members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) in the territory during a violent protest on Monday in Abuja. The group defied warning from the police and staged the violent protest to demand the release of their leader, Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, and wife who had been detention since 2016.
The spokesman of the police in the FCT, Anjuguri Manzah, a deputy superintendent of police, confirmed the arrest to journalists in an interview on Tuesday at the Garki Hospital.
Mr Manzah was in the hospital to see how the two personnel of the command, who sustained varied degree of injuries while dispersing the protesters, were recuperating.
