#EndSARSMemorial: Security operatives block protesters from marching to n’assembly

Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS), soldiers and police officers have prevented #EndSARSMemorial protesters from marching to the national assembly.

The protesters had earlier converged at Unity Fountain to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the #EndSARS protest.

 

While there, the protesters wielded placards, singing, and calling on the government to “meet our demands”.

 

From Unity Fountain, they proceeded to the national assembly to continue their protest.

 

However, on their way to the national assembly, they came face to face with security operatives who mounted a barricade.

 

The security operatives, who were armed with guns and whips, also blocked the road with their cars.

 

Protesters who were asked to go back could be heard saying “protesting is our right, we are not thugs”.
