The Nigerian government has denied any involvement in the arrest of #EndSARS protesters in Egypt's capital, Cairo.

The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission Chairperson, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, said the Egyptian authorities were enforcing their restrictions on public gatherings.

She said the protesting Nigerians were not arrested at the Nigerian embassy.

The Nigerian government disbanded the hated Special Anti-Robbery Squad (Sars) but the protesters want major police reforms.
