This morning, a Nigerian Police officer stabbed a young man, Wale a.k.a “Eleyele”, a tricycle rider, to death with a dagger.

Reason: Wale refused to be extorted of 50 Naira as it was the usual practice of the police officers around Ile Iwe - Command, Meiran, Lagos.
Graphic images!!
Viewer discretion is advised.

This has led to a clash between the transport workers & the police officers at Ile-iwe command.

The Police PPRO said “forces have been currently deployed to the area”.
Residents report police officers currently throwing bottles & wielding knives.

An unascertained number of people have been killed by alleged stray bullets of the police officers who are trying to quell the unrest rising as a result of Wale’s extrajudicial killing.

The police officer who allegedly killed Wale. #EndSARS
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?
#EndSARS
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.

Many young Nigerians are asking two important questions after the recent elections:

1. Did my vote count?
2. Why should I participate in this flawed process again?

Let's address these questions one by one.
Yes, your votes counted, and your efforts alongside millions of young Nigerians did not go to waste.

The elections lacked transparency, coupled with fraud, violence, manipulation, and intimidation, irregularities.

However, despite these, our votes helped win over 12 states,
including Lagos, FCT, and Nasarawa, with 25% in many states, for a less popular party, which is a major win.

We must count these victories as steps towards our ultimate goal of creating positive change in Nigeria.

Buhari spent over 200 days on constant medical trips abroad.

He is responsible for our current state of insecurity, as he was never present as President.

He was sick before 2015 elections, but APC covered, packaged, & dumped him on the country.
The leadership vacuum he created encouraged insecurity.

And a lot of people benefited from Buhari’s absence. They benefited from your poverty, joblessness, the deaths of innocent Nigerians!

As if that isn’t enough, APC is packaging another sick man for you.
They want to return with a new, even worse Buhari. This time, with a same faith ticket.

If you give a sick man control of your sick country, you will have wasted sixteen of your good years.

The Nigeria of today requires, demands and begs for a “present president”.
