BREAKING: #EndSars Protest Resumes In Lagos

By

 


The EndSARS protest, which gripped the country for about two weeks in October, resumed in Lagos State on Thursday with protesters marching by Tejuosho Road in the Yaba area of the city.

SaharaReporters gathered that older women and some young men brandished various placards in the area, defying the scorching heat to march for almost two hours.

They continued to chant, "End SARS and we march for our children." A number of them were also seen carrying the Nigerian flag in their hands, with microphones to make their voices audible.

On Friday morning, more Nigerians vow to storm the streets, in what they termed a "second wave of protests." 

#ENDSARS became a top trend on Twitter with many Nigerians expressing their determination to voice their anger against bad governance and police brutality in Nigeria. 

The hashtag also appeared on the US trends in the early hours of Friday.

Tweeting on Friday morning, an activist, Gbenga Sesan wrote, "#EndSARS protests are back. They will be peaceful. Actions will be distributed. Volunteers will manage logistics. There will be no donations that can be blocked. Communication will be seamless. The goal remains the same: #5for5. Don't wait for anyone; this is YOUR country." 

Comedian DrCraze wrote, "#EndSARS second wave, third wave, plenty waves, Any Wave! I'm READY!"
