The Lagos state police command has announced the arraignment of 34 hoodlums who were detained at the state’s EndSARS anniversary demonstration on Wednesday, October 20.
The scheduled demonstration in celebration of the one-year anniversary of ENDSARS was carried out by protestors who moved in a motorcade through the Lekki toll gate at around 8am, according to CSP Adekunle Ajisebutu, spokesperson for the state police command. Around 10 a.m., the protest came to an end. “Hoodlums took advantage of the gridlock with criminal intent to start assaulting innocent law-abiding individuals,” he stated around 1130 a.m., after the legitimate protestors had departed quietly without conflict.
The hoodlums stabbed one Shina Edun’m’ of Man O’ War Nigeria attached to the Lekki Concession Company in the stomach, according to Ajisebutu. The victim was taken to the hospital right afterwards and is now getting medical treatment.
