He also disclosed that the request of the youths to release arrested protesters has been fulfilled.
The governor also promised to get any protesters arrested by the police out immediately.
For over a week, Nigerian youths have been protesting and demanding an end to police brutality and extrajudicial killings.
However, despite the dissolution of SARS by the IGP, the nationwide protests have intensified.
