United States Mission in Nigeria has advised #EndSARS protesters to approach their demands in a political manner.
This was stated by the United States in a Facebook post on Wednesday, along with support for ongoing police reforms.
The post read, “Today is a day to reflect on the loss of life and property during last year’s #EndSARS protests. We appreciate the work done by the various judicial panels and look forward to the implementation of recommendations and compensation to victims of police brutality. We support ongoing police reform efforts. We encourage those who demonstrated for change to engage politically to achieve it.”
On Wednesday, protesters took to the streets of major cities to mark the one-year anniversary of the #EndSARS protests in October 2020.
While the protests in Abuja went off without a hitch, police in Lagos arrested several protesters at the Lekki toll plaza.
