The Nigeria Police Force has transferred a campaigner of the #EndSARS movement, Eromosele Adene, from Lagos to Abuja for organising a protest on Saturday.
His sister, Onomene Adene, told The PRESS on Monday that the move was done because Lagos is the epicentre of the protest and her brother's detention could spark a protest in the state.
