Details of the Allegations

“The full story of people who burnt down TVC in 2020 will be told one day, with gory clips and images. One thing to note: majority of them have been hunted down and executed,” he said.

He also mentioned that one of the arsonists, a young boy trading in cooking gas around Ketu, was found with an AK-47 at the site, shocking his neighbors.

Context of the #EndSARS Protest

In October 2020, Nigerian youths under the #EndSARS movement staged public demonstrations to protest extrajudicial killings by officials of the police special unit, the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).

SARS was created in 1992 to tackle armed robbery, motor vehicle theft, kidnapping, and other violent crimes.

The protesters, mainly youths, demanded the disbandment of SARS, justice for victims of police brutality, and compensation for their families, among other demands.

Escalation and Government Response

The protests, initially peaceful, were hijacked by hoodlums in some areas, leading to coordinated jailbreaks, looting of storage facilities, and damage to government and private properties.

In Lagos, to restore law and order, Governor Sanwo-Olu imposed a 24-hour curfew and deployed soldiers to the major protest ground at the Lekki toll gate.

Sanwo-Olu Begins Working EndSARS Report

Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG earlier reported that the Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Monday, November 15, announced his reception of the reports of the EndSARS commission of inquiry.

Via his Instagram page, Governor Sanwo-Olu expressed his gratitude to the chairman of the panel Justice Doris Okuwobi and his members for their service.
