Meanwhile, Newsone Nigeria reports that the Nigerian youths have been on the streets for more than a week now, protesting the brutalities, humiliation, and extortion of Nigerians, especially the youths.
During the protests, the protesters demanded an end to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), a police unit under the Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department headed by the Deputy Inspector General of Police Anthony Ogbizi, using a hashtag: #EndSARS.
The Inspector General of Police (IGP) Mohammed Adamu disbanded SARS on Sunday, October 11, 2020, following a widespread protest from Nigerians worldwide but despite this, the protesters have refused to leave the streets.
However, #EndSARS protesters protesting in Oshodi area of Lagos on Monday, October 19, were heard chanting “Tinubu Ole” in Yoruba which translates to “Tinubu thief”, a situation which can best be described as an embarrassment to Tinubu, a two-time former governor of Lagos State, Nigeria’s commercial city.
