Suspected hoodlums on Friday attacked protesting Nigerian youths calling for an end to police brutality in Edo State.

As at the time of filing this report, no death is recorded from the vicious attack.

Featured24 reports that protest which has been going on for a while continued despite the disbandment of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), a controversial unit of the Nigeria Police Force.

The disbandment was officially confirmed by the Inspector General of Police Mohammed Adamu earlier this week who announced the creation of new outfit to replace the defunct SARS.

The new unit known as Special Weapons and Tactics Team ( SWAT), has also been widely rejected by the protesting youths with #EndSWAT trending on different social media platforms.

These YOUTHS are Indeed Courageous

Na wah oooo

This is very bad.

This is to show that all Politicians are one and will not be spared when the time comes.

Weather u are in APC or PDP. You will not be spared.

The protest is gaining momentum. Politicians are getting scared & sending their thugs to cause mayhem. They never imagined that Nigerian youths would wake up this soon.
We have now realized that APC/PDP are scam. This coming Election, we will create our own party & Elect the leaders of our choice. WE ARE WISER THAN THESE OLD CORRUPT MEN!!

Obaseki is also a suspect.

We have just be told that thugs attacked some Endsars protesters in ring road Benin city

They are shooting at Endsars protesters....17 people shot
One dead at ring road Benin city...no matter the intimidation...they should stand their ground


Meanwhile....we are here at ugbowo today ...Benin - Lagos road...Uniben main gate...
We will soon join our brothers over there at ring road

I just keeping wondering how our politicians will be having sleepless nights.
I'm proud to be a Nigerian youth.

Obaseki has not spoken since protests began

This one is Mc oluomo and Tinubu handiwork too... Nwafor the wicked sars thread is just in page 2 since last week but Tinubu thread go enter page 35 in 5 mins.... Who do us this thing? The earlier we admit some strange elements are undermining the effort of protesters the better it will be for us

this is why politicians are haters of democracy.

The government must obey.......the youths trying to set things right, enough is enough.

#End Sars joor
#End Swart joor
#End police brutality joor
#Revolution now
#End political immunity.

No matter the intimidation, we move

#endpolicebrutality
#restructurenow

Only division will save you.

I’m at ring road now and everywhere is now clear

The road is scanty

I guess we should blame MC Oluomo and Tinubu for the violence in Edo as well.

Nigerians are their own nightmares. I have nothing much to say.

Oh dear youths from both sects (Protesters and hoodlums).

What are you doing to yourselves?

This too will end...

This is becoming something else...

no loose guarding out there again, the police has not been living up to expectations in securing lives& properties so there is no need to expect them to do so now

make nobody die like fowl again defend yourself by yourself as you have been doing right from time

Desperate politicians.

Why are they afraid of the protests, which have been peaceful? Nigerians can now see how evil those in power are.

If they had nothing to fear, why hire thugs? Criminals in power. Your end is here.
