It's been barely a month after the resumption of some major activities in Nigeria, that includes the resumption of Schools (Primary and Tertiary Institutions) which made everyone happy especially the students. Measures were been set in place to curb the spread of the virus or further Occurrences of increased records.

All of a sudden, Another hit, Occurrences of human right abuse by a Section of the Nigerian Police Force called SARS (Special Armed Robbery Squad) with records of this said Section killing the youths of the country without any possible cause. This continued and the citizens of the country especially the youths went out of patient. Out of patient waiting for the Government to see to this trategic occurrences but they didn't. So, the youths went up on their feet to protest.

The Youths rose on a peaceful protest with the tag #ENDSARS and it's aims were to Put an end to the killings and also Stop bad governance.

On The 20th of October, Something Sad happened at Lekki, a town in the largest city in Nigeria, Lagos State. Due to how pathetic the Occurrence was, I wouldn't be able to explain here but I'd leave a link from BBC were you can read about it.

The Nigerian Flag got blood stains and since then the country has been in an unrest situation. Currently, there's a curfew in Lagos State restricting movements and these has caused a lot especially to those retuning back to their various schools for Examination.

In June 2020, Amnesty International released a report that documented at least 82 cases of torture, ill-treatment and extrajudicial execution by SARS between January 2017 and May 2020.

This has gone beyond the expectation of the citizens and more worst things are happening as I speak but Lagos State is with more concentration of the Occurrence. So let's stand in Unity and Pray For Nigeria as Africans and the World at Large, Nigeria can't afford a Civil War at this time.
