We talk about young people often being victims of police brutality, because no one is protected from this madness.
“The youths of today are the leaders of tomorrow”…….but police don kill all the leaders of tomorrow finish today. #EndSARS
The Nigerian Government has refused to take any meaningful steps on the issue of police brutality because they benefit from our indignity and fears.
The status quo of oppression pays them.
What incentive is there to end police brutality?

My heart breaks so much.
No young person should have to go through this from a country supposed to protect them.
It’s so so terrible 💔
Lagos CP, Odumosu will soon say no one filed a report about the killing.
Headmaster JideSanwoolu will soon say they are forces beyond his control.
Wale, the young man who was murdered had a pregnant wife.
Mubaraq, the young boy, has a blind parent who relies on him for daily needs.
My country, as a result of unfortunate leaders, keeps taking everything you’ve got.
