protesters in Lagos.
An eyewitness has explained how armed thugs attacked
#EndSARS protesters in Alausa, Ikeja, the Lagos State
capital.
The eyewitness told Channels Television on Thursday that the
thugs swooped on the #EndSARS protesters, injuring some of them and
disrupting their peaceful demonstrations.
“The thugs came with cutlasses and other dangerous weapons,” the
eyewitness explained.
The protesters had earlier blocked a section of the Alausa road
and were singing solidarity songs when their attackers suddenly
appeared and disrupted their demonstrations.

Thousands of youths across the country have in the last one week
been protesting against the harassment and extrajudicial killings
perpetrated mainly by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Nigeria
Police Force.
The police authorities have since disbanded the unit and
announced the setting up of Special Weapons and Tactics unit as its
replacement but the protests continue nationwide.
