12 States Grounded As Fct Security Agents And Thugs Attack Protesters. by Beadysworld: 11:23am On Oct 20, 2020
#EndSARS protesters on Monday defied the threat by the Federal Government to deploy security agents in quelling their protests against police brutality across the country.

Protesters, mostly youths as early as 7 am trooped out in major cities in Lagos, Ogun, Edo, Abia, Ondo, Ekiti, Oyo,Abia, Imo, abuja and Ebonyi states blocking roads and calling for police reforms.



But in Abuja, Government security operatives and thugs attacked #EndSARS, peaceful protesters, at various locations disrupting the peaceful movement.

In some locations in Abuja, security agents watched as thugs attacked protesters without doing anything.

Recall that since October 8, youths, who are calling for disbanding of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Nigeria Police, have been embarking on peaceful protests.

On Sunday, the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, disbanded SARS and a few days later announced the setting up of the Special Weapon and Tactics Team.

But the protesters insisted that the government had not met their demands, including the prosecution of SARS operatives involved in extrajudicial killings and another phase of Governance which they said need reforming.



The Federal Government on Sunday warned the protesters that it would not tolerate descent into anarchy.

The protest coordinator, in an interview said the protests were peaceful and accused government of using police and thugs to disrupt the demonstrations.

On Monday, vehicular and human movements were at a standstill in many parts of Lagos state stretching into Ibadan express road including Ijanikin, Iyana Isashi and Agbara axis of the Lagos – Badagry Expressway as angry youths protested against police brutality.



It was reported that the protesters blocked the expressway with two articulated vehicles at Agbara, preventing vehicles from coming or going out of the area.

Ovi Kuponu, one of the coordinators of the protest, Ovi Kuponu, told journalists the youth in Badagry and Agbara came out to protest the deplorable state of the expressway, hash lifestyle of Agbara people and bad governance.

In the state capital of Lagos, Ikeja, Vehicular movements were totally paralysed in Ikeja.

Thousands of youths occupied the stretch of Awolowo Road from Allen Junction to the Lagos State Secretariat to Oregun, kudirat Abiola way into Alausa.

Travellers stranded as protesters block Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Abeokuta roads, others

Almost all the major roads in Ogun State were blocked on Monday by the protesters.

But besides SARS, the protesters said they were protesting against bad governance demanding for the total reformation of the country.

Why is Nnamdi Kanu not in Nigeria to lead the protest in Afara? Isn't that cowardice?
