I hope you are doing well and enjoying your time my friends. Stay safe.
Today I came up with some informations regarding the issues of protesters on endsars in Nigeria.
The protesters are protesting against the SARS, a police unit ( Special anti robbery squad). Claiming that they are killing youths without any concrete reasons.
The SARS was formed in the year 1984 by the then military head of state, general Muhammad buhari to tackle the issues of insecurities and bring order to the nation. The unit have done wonderful in that regards within short period of time, but with time they've started changing, killing people whom they've arrested ( Claiming that the court are not punishing them well ).
In this month, that is October, some youth, ladies and gentlemen gathered together and started protesting in different parts of the country ( Nigerian) to bring the end of the SARS. Some of them are holding up items written ( ENDSARS, ENDPOLICE BRUTALITY, END INSECURITIES, END BADLEADERSHIP ETC) especially in southern part of the country.
As the protesting is taking place the president, general Muhammad buhari met the other stake holders in the country and then decided to nuetralize the the unit.
The Inspector general of police, announced that, they've dissolve the unit, and ask all the personal of the units to return to the base.
This news is good for the protesters, they even started praising the president, and decided to stop the protesting. But the day after dissolving SARS, the inspector general of police announced the creation of another unit called (SWAT). This news increases the protesters anger. Because of the following :
The police just outsmart them, they just change the name not the people.
There will be no Reformation in the police units
It's Injustice to everyone in the country.
So they have just continue protesting. As the days are going, one day a thugs started attacking the protesters in different places and part of the country. This makes the protesters sad, and they said they would be no retreat and no surrender, untill their needs are met.
One day, the thugs joined them and started destroying the properties of people and the government. The protesters said that they aren't the ones doing such damage to the country in different places. But the things continue.
In northern part of the country, apart from ENDSARS, the protesters demand the government to bring an end to INSECURITIES, BOKOHARAM, BANDITARY, KIDNAPPING etc.
Recently, the thugs started attacking different places such as police station, prison etc. In Edo state, Lagos State and ondo State different police station were burnt, and the prison and some market and places were set ablaze, resulting in high damages and escaped of the prisoners. Again some properties that belongs to the northerners were burnt, as seen in vedios on the internet. So as to regional conflict ( Based on the hypothesis of some people ).
The State government of the State listed above announced the curfew in their States, so as to tackle the issues. But the protesters said that they will go to nowhere, since they aren't the ones who did it.
In the night of Tuesday, the army and police were deployed to the states. And unfortunately, they've started shooting and killing innocent protesters in the country, especially in Lagos ( Lekki ). Different people in the world condemned the act by the Army, and ask government to intervene and bring solutions to the problem.
Some people said that they've killed almost More than fifty protesters. But they later denied they actions ( Army).
On Thursday, the president Muhammad buhari has spoken to the country about what happened, and the measures taken to tackle it. But many of the people in the country felt the president shouldn't speak the way he did. Because he shows no sign of concern to the citizens, as they've claimed.
I pray, may Allah help and guide our leaders and people, destabilize the lives of those that wants destabilize the country, bring peace and Unity to the country, Ameen summa ameen.
Thank you for your time and reading.
