We move... #endsars

Before you read note this is a story that contains lot of emotions about death , and there are disturbing images and videos as well , if you are reading read with care.

There are two days I believe Nigerians would never forget in history as time of grief and pains it was , the unholy incident that occurred on 14 - 04 -14 and the 20-10-20. Well for the benefits of others, I would brief the 14- 04 - 14 incident , this incident occurred in the night when young secondary school ( high school ) pupils who are preparing to write the final examination called waec ( west Africa Examination council, an examination for the high school students across English speaking countries in West Africa) was kidnapped by the dreaded terrorist group know as Boko Haram. That sad night a group of terrorist groups know as Boko Haram ( a radical and extremist Islamic group) kidnapped over 200 school pupils in a town known as chibok in Bornu North East Nigeria. This spark a campaign in Nigeria and all over the word a campaign of bring back our girls.

We saw action also from the first lady of the United States then Michelle Obama. It was a painful plight as well over 100 of the girls have been found and reunite with their families and parents but others are still not found and their parents are hoping , well it is a Painful thing that bring tears from my sight and toany others as well .Boko Haram is still a terrorism issue as they continue to attack state in the North East especially Bornu state. Most recently the governor was attacked about twice in 48 hours while he was trying a rebuild network in the state. Any day I remember the 14-04-2014 , I literally cry for the pains of the pupils and the families of the girls. (You can read more) That's a little of memory I could help jog as I would want to write about the recent tragedy .

Pre 20-10-2020 the protest against police brutality.

I wrote 5 articles of about a protest that broke out in Nigeria which begins on the 6 th of November 2020. About the protest of Nigeria youth against police brutality. The reason of the protest government past action about police brutality and the rogue special unit known as SARS ( special Anti Robbery Squad) how it harrass youth , Rob the youth , perform extra judicial killings and tortured the youth into confessing crimes they didn't even commit.

Protest as being so peaceful untill some funny or rather I did say unfortunate events begin to unfold , believed government sponsored hoodlums start attacking protesters in Lagos and Abuja, after series of attack from the police that claim lives of about 15 peaceful protesters the story of jimoh isaq in Ogbomosho,oyo state showed how police use live bullet on protester.

Jimoh isaq, and other incidents make the police to withdraw and then hoodlums believe to be sponsored by the government take over and start attacking protesters both in Lagos and Abuja. Premium times reported some incident . https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/420805-endsars-hoodlums-attack-lagos-protesters.html&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjm_ofB0ZLtAhVUi1wKHaiaBHYQr4kDegQIWxAB&usg=AOvVaw3n87JDufgGgqdbajAwxTyj

The lekki toll gate has been where protests has been peaceful the most as no attack from hoodlum or anything was reported , the feminist collation was coordinating every thing well and Jack Dorsey the CEO of twitter asked for donation through bitcoin for the as well.

20-10-2020

Since lekki toll gate is one of the major link to the mainland and the island in Lagos and youths has been continuously staying there for over 12 days , the youths don't trust the government and are demanding until a 5of5 demand has been meet they would continue to hold protests, since Lagos is one of the strongest place of the protest, the governor order a 24 hours curfew. And that even increase the number of people at the lekki toll gate.

The people ready to observe the curfew at lekki toll gate brings about a panic for government and the recorded was removed and the military moved in shoot and killed people. As people said about 16 people died. The Nigeria youth saw the military they sat down and sang the Nigeria national anthem whilst waving the flag but the military shot.

Well in the earlier morning of the 21st of October 2020 the governor of lagos state babajide sanwolu, claimed on his official handle on twitter that force beyond his control attacked peaceful protesters at lekki but no one died , the military claim on twitter also that they were not there at the lekki and tag any reports of the incident being reported has fake news, until when Becky Anderson amapour of CNN interviewed the governor of lagos state he admitted that were men in military uniform at the lekki toll gate and two people died at the toll gate.

After the narrative news began to change if people died or not and the military admitted they were there but they only fired blank shots into the air and not to protesters , they also said the governor of lagos invited them to enforce the curfew since the police are not capacitade to act, and they were not happy that the governor did not admit he invited them. Well the issues of people being killed was still debated despite seeing live video from DJ switch who was on Instagram live when gun shot was heard and bullet wound was seen. Untill a CNN investigative reports shows what happened that day.

After the CNN report the government was still denial that the army only shot blank bullet and it was a bloodless massacre as the minister of information claimed, the CNN reports stood their ground and ask the government to show evidence. The lekki massacre did happen as peaceful protesters were killed by Government sponsored military men and police . It so sad that's it over a month now , this incident brought a lot of pains as youth demonstrate for accountable government. As we move we wouldn't forget the hero's at lekki toll gates and others around Nigeria who pay with their blood , we say Endsars Nigeria and we are coming for the second wave.😰😰😰😰😰

The struggle continue victory is certain.

There are more issues that lingered during the protests, am emotional to write more about them , I did uses this post to remember the dead as I lost a friend also to the protest it painful. Well we have been supporting the families , government is trying to arrest , forefronters in the protest as at now but that's a story for another day.

I appreciate you for reading!!!.
