15 YOUTHS ARRESTED IN ONDO FOR PROTESTING AGAINST 13MONTHS BLACKOUT .

Men of the Ondo State Police command have
arrested some youths, who staged protest at the
weekend over 13 months power blackout in the
southern senatorial district of the state.
The youths, numbering about 15, were members
of a group called National Revolutionary Vanguard
(NRV).
It was gathered that the coordinator of the group,
Mr. Sayo Onukun, an indigene of that area,
directed his members in the affected local
government areas to stage a peaceful protest
against the blackout at the weekend.
As members of NRV in Odigbo local government
were preparing for their own protest, mobile
policemen allegedly invaded their office in Ore and
arrested some of the youths.
The armed mobile policemen were allegedly led by
one CSP Adesina from the Ore Police Division of
the Ondo State Command, in Odigbo.
However, a police source said the arrested youths
were not members of the group but cultists, who
were only looking for means to disrupt the peace
being enjoyed by residents of Ore.
They were later transferred to the Special-Anti
Cultism section of the Command in Akure, the
state capital, where they were allegedly detained
and tortured throughout the night before released
on bail.
