The Nasarawa State police command has released 10 minors detained during the #EndBadGovernance protests in the state.

The command’s spokesman, Ramhan Nansel, disclosed this to journalists on Thursday in Lafia.

Police had on August 1 arrested 50 protesters in four local government areas of the state for allegedly attacking their personnel and looting.

In a statement released the same day, police said 25 protesters were arrested in Lafia, 16 in Karu, six in Keffi, and three in Mararaba Udege of Nasarawa LGA.

Nansel said the 10 minors were released to their parents and guardians.

He, however, said the remaining 40 had been charged to court.

The spokesman urged the people of the state to go about their lawful activities without fear of intimidation.
