We'll not back down until we #EndSARS – angry protesters

The #EndSARS Protesters have vowed not to back down until the government addresses their demand to end police brutality and intimidation carried out by men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad.

They made the vow at the Lagos State House of Assembly in Ikeja on Friday, the third day of protests aimed at ensuring the infamous police unit is scrapped.

One of the protesters, popular comedian Debo Adebayo, said the youths were tired of continued police brutality.

“We are not backing down, we can never back down. Look at everybody here, now I cannot even count the number of people that are here,” he said.

“It is because we are tired. When we came here, we didn’t have five per cent of this number the last time we came here for a protest.

“This is to say that the youths are waking up. While you are waking up, don’t give them another opportunity to shoot us down.

 



“Don’t give them another excuse to shoot us down. Like I said earlier, we are not here for politics. We are here because we are tired. Enough is enough.”

Speaking further, he asked the protesters to assemble again on Tuesday in the same environment by 9 am, adding that African time wouldn’t be allowed.
