Nigeria, July 17 -- PWAN Group, a real estate network marketing company, has denied any role in the arrest and detention of activist Scott Iguma.

Earlier, PREMIUM TIMES reported that the company dismissed allegations made by Mr Iguma via Instagram, accusing PWAN of issuing mere receipts to customers rather than allocating actual plots of land.

On Wednesday, a post published on Mr Iguma's Instagram page, attributed to his legal representatives, alleged that PWAN Group facilitated his arrest and ordered his detention.

The post also alleged that the Deputy Commissioner of Police at Panti, Yaba, detained the activist on the instructions of PWAN's founder, Augustine Onwumere.

The name of the law firm behind the allegation was not disclosed...
