Youths protesting against police brutality across the country have taken over the Magboro area of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway to express their displeasure.
They carried several placards with different inscriptions to demonstrate their grievances against the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad, a unit of the Nigeria Police Force.
One of the protesters, simply identified as Amaechi, said, “We are all here on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway because there is a nationwide protest for the soul of our country.
“#EndSARS, #Endpolicebrutality, end bad governance, and wickedness to the Nigerian youths. It is time for the youths to take over.”
Meanwhile, the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has reassured #EndSARS protesters that the Nigeria Police Force would punish all officers found guilty of brutality and other unprofessional conducts.
Adamu also ordered police officers to stop assaulting peaceful protesters across the country.
Human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana, has also called on the Federal Government to discuss with #EndSARS protesters on ways to meet their demands.
He insisted that the government should give room for open discussions just the way they negotiate with terrorists and kidnappers.
Speaking during a television programme in Lagos, Falana also urged the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, to provide security for protesters to limit cases of attacks by thugs.
