EndSARS Memorial: Protesters Vow To Proceed With Procession against Police warning

Following the warning issued by the Nigerian Police that “no street” protest should hold on Wednesday, EndSARS members have insisted that they will proceed with the one-year memorial procession nationwide to honour those who died and other victims of security brutality on October 20, 2020.

They had issued a statement in response to the Lagos State Police Command’s official statement released on the eve of the planned candlelight procession across the country.

The members stated that it is not within the powers of the Nigerian Police to stop citizens from engaging in street protests as the right to engage in protest against unjust policies, tyranny, and oppression is the lawful right of citizens.

They urged the police authorities to ensure they carry out their duties to protect protesters who will be on the streets by way of cars, bicycles, tricycles, skateboards, and by foot all over Lagos and its environs.

The EndSARS protesters urged compatriots to remain steadfast and fully prepare to carry out their duties and historical tasks on Wednesday morning.
