Meanwhile, Olowu said the protesters, on Tuesday, handed over their demands to the state governor via his deputy, Mr Kola Adewusi.
He said the various arms of the protest reached a logical conclusion to suspend the protest and hold a news conference on Wednesday to brief the public on the suspension decision.
