The Lagos state Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has praised the efforts of Nigerian youths who came out en masse to protest against the Special Anti-robbery Squad of the Nigeria police.
The governor hailed the good conduct of the youths who participated in the peaceful public demonstration in Lagos and added that their voices have been heard very clearly.
According to him, he identified with the #EndSARS campaign, as it touched the essence of democratic freedom. He said citizens must never be denied the rights to express their grievances whenever they were not satisfied with the operation of any agency of the Government.
The dissolution of the SARS outfit by Inspector-General of police is an indication that the voice of the protesters had been heard by the authorities. He urged the youth to continue to engage the leadership on reforms required to make the police force work better.
Sanwo-Olu also commended security operatives in Lagos for respecting the rights of the demonstrators to express their grievances, saying he was elated that the issues raised by the protesters had been addressed by the police authorities.
