Elsewhere, the Police Command in Nasarawa says it has arrested 38 protesters in Lafia for alleged public disturbance over the recent Supreme Court judgment that upheld the election of Gov. Abdullahi Sule of the state.
The suspects were immediately charged in court and remanded at the Lafia Custodial Center.
They were charged before the Chief Magistrates’ Court, Lafia, for the offense.
When the matter was mentioned for hearing by the prosecuting counsel, Danjuma Allu, the Chief Magistrate, Mohammed Abdullahi Lanze, reserved the ruling on their bail application for Monday.
Earlier, Illiya Ashokpa, defense counsel, applied that the court should grant them bail, but his application was turned down.
The protesters comprised five males and 33 females.
DSP Ramhan Nansel, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, confirmed the arrest and prosecution by the command.
The Supreme Court affirmed the victory of Gov. Sule of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as governor of the state on Friday.
