Police arrest, detain End SARS protests WhatsApp group admins, Popoola, Aderemi

The Osun State Police Command has reportedly picked up two people for being administrators of a WhatsApp group used for mobilisation for End SARS protest in the state.

It was gathered that the suspects, Babawale Popoola and Fisayo Aderemi, were arrested and detained since Thursday.

The police are claiming that the duo knew about the looting that occurred a few weeks ago as administrators of #EndSARS WhatsApp groups, hence, they are being asked to provide their members.

When contacted, the state police spokesperson, Yemisi Opalola, did not deny the arrest of WhatsApp group admins.

She, however, told our Premium Times that the two persons detained played roles in the arson that followed the protests in the state. Asked why they were yet to be arraigned, she simply said “they are still being investigated. After the investigation, we will know what to do.”
