According to Hundeyin, the arrested persons are all male and aged 16, 42 and 43.
He said that the arrest was a sequel to the directive of the state Commissioner of Police, Adegoke Fayoade, to the Commander of RRS, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi, to bring to book any person found attempting to break the laws.
“CP Fayoade had earlier met with organisers of the carnival, advising them on the need to get a hall for the carnival and stay away from shutting streets or disturbing public peace.
“The suspects are to be arraigned at the conclusion of investigations,” he said.
