The #EndSARS Protest Shows Nigerian Youth Are Upset - Atiku Abubakar

Former vice president Atiku Abubakar has reacted to the ongoing campaign by Nigerian youths over widespread abuses by officers of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad.

Read what he said:

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.
Everyday, we encourage our young people to become entrepreneurs. Buying a laptop to earn a living shouldn’t attract harassment.
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.
