The #EndSARS protests have now entered its fifth day.
Across the country, protesters remain determined to put an end to all forms of brutality, which the rogue police force has taken a liking to. Now, these officers are responding to protests against police brutality with even more brutality and audacious disregard for human rights or lives.
On Saturday, October 10 2020, the police violently killed Jimoh Isiaq when they opened fire on peaceful protesters at Ogbomosho, a town in Oyo State.
Later in the evening, another set of Police officers arrested 15 protesters and detained them at the State Police Headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
At the time of writing this, only two people have been released.
As the protests picked up renewed momentum on Sunday, October 11 2020, the police also continued their streak of being the arch-enemy of the people they vowed to protect. And they’re doing this by any means necessary.
