Nigeria former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar whom recently abandoned the ruling party, APC has made this known via his social media handle on the #EndSARS campaign and call on the government for urgent intervention and attention.
“The arbitrary harassment of young Nigerians by Police (who should be protecting them) has no place in a democratic society.
The # EndSARS protest shows Nigerian youth are upset and the matter needs urgent attention.”
I commend our young people for protesting these injustices peacefully online, and encourage the IG of the Nigerian Police to take these complaints seriously.
I also urge the National Assembly to look into these complaints, and address the human rights issues. Reforms are urgently needed.”
