The Police police relations officer, FCT Police Command, SP Josephine Adeh, Anipr made this known in a statement made available to newsmen.

She stated,”The FCT police command wishes to debunk the narrative making the rounds about the arrest of a photojournalist, Jide Oyekunle in the ongoing protest taking place around the eagle square, Abuja.

“Mr Jide Oyekunle was rather taken away from the perceived unsafe environment for his own safety after being advised to leave where he was standing to a safer location and he declined, as some of the protesters had suddenly become violent.

“While the protest is ongoing, it remains the duty of the police to protect lives and property.”
