The #EndSARS protest has been ongoing for days with the Nigerian youths in the forefront resilient and rebellious to the Nigerian government. The protest which has gone on for about 12 days now has seen the loss of at least ten lives.
The protest, which saw the Nigerian government under undue pressure, dissolve the controversial police unit, Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS). The disbanded police unit is trailed by allegations of abuse of human rights, extrajudicial killings, extortion, harassment, youth profiling among a host of other atrocities.
Nigeria’s head of police Mohammad Adamu has established a new Special Weapons And Tactics (SWAT) squad to replace the notorious police unit Federal Special Anti-robbery squad (FSARS).
The protests have seen a number of events occur with the most recent involving Nigerian music star Alhaji Wasiu Alabu Pasuma simply called Pasuma.
In a video that has gone viral on social media, angry youths can be seen dragging the Fuji musician out of protest ground in Alausa, Ikeja. The fuji singer attempted to calm down the angry crowd but they were not having it as they booed him to leave and some then dragged him out of the place by his trouser.
Pasuma is accused of having links with the president of the Nigerian Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTWA), MC Oluomo. Last week, protesters at Alausa were attacked by hoodlums with weapons and there have been allegations that the thugs were sponsored by MC Oluomo.
MC Oluomo has since denied being a part of that attack but with the events surrounding Pasuma, it appears the protesters are not budging.
