Only AAC Presidential Candidate, Sowore Genuinely Stood For Aspirations Of #EndSARS – Nigerian Youths Group, YRCThe group noted that the development showed that police brutality persisted despite public outcry.
However, in a statement issued on Thursday and jointly signed by YRC National Coordinator, Michael Lenin and National Secretary, Francis Nwapa, lamented that the activists rallying at Lekki tollgate in honor of #EndSARS martyrs were attacked, fired at with teargas, and arrested by the police. "Unfortunately, today’s event whereby activists rallying at Lekki tollgate in honor of #EndSARS martyrs were attacked, fired at with teargas, and arrested by the police shows that police brutality persists despite public outcry two years ago. We hereby condemn the attack by the police and demand the immediate release of all those arrested.
“Other issues like unemployment, elite corruption, etc also came to the fore during the protests. The protests which climaxed at the Lekki massacre by the Nigerian police and soldiers have exposed that the military and police only exist to protect the rich from the poor and defend the capitalist system of inequality.
"Two years on, it is clear that police brutality has not ended in Nigeria even though the protests were able to force the dissolution of the brutal SARS unit.
