Nigeria Police officers have
beaten up a number of End SARS protesters.
This occurred four days after the
Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, warned against use of force.
Adamu stated that “the
fundamental right of freedom of expression, assembly, and movement must always
be upheld and protected by the police”.
The IGP’s caution followed
several photos and videos showing battering of citizens.
Some of those attacked on Monday
were carrying the Nigerian flag.
The belief was that anyone
carrying the country’s symbol would be spared of assault by security
operatives.
That has now been discarded by
overzealous personnel.
The assault by the Police
occurred in at least two locations of the nation’s capital and Nyanya.
Nyanya is a town in Nasarawa
State near the border with the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
