#EndSARS Protesters in Lagos State have vowed that the protest would continue until government scraps the tactical unit.
Addressing the protesters gathered at the State House of Assembly in Alausa area of Ikeja, the state capital, one of the conveners and popular comedian, Debo Adebayo, said the youths were tired of police brutality and intimidation carried out by men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad.
“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.”
Debo Adebayo went on to urge protesters to assemble at the State House of Assembly on Tuesday by 9Am, stressing that African time wouldn’t be allowed.
Another convener of the protest, Rinu Oduala who spoke to newsmen said lawmakers of the Lagos State house have met with their delegates and have agreed that SARS should be scrapped in the country.
“We had an emergency situation with the House. About 20 of us were sitting with the Honourables in the House.
“We gave them our petition which was given to Obasa (the Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly) yesterday and we made our stand clear.
“The Honourables were asked to rule their motions on the matter. Most of them agreed in our favour that SARS should be scrapped,” she said
