Former Senator Shehu Sani has called on President Bola Tinubu to release all #EndSARS protesters still in detention, in the spirit of June 12.
Sani, who was a prominent figure in the June 12 struggle, made the appeal on social media platform X.
He stated, “In the spirit of the June 12 struggle which we fought 30 years ago, I call on the President to release all persons still held in the Nigerian Prisons because of the #EndSARS protest.”
Sani’s plea comes as a reminder of the ongoing campaign for justice and freedom for those detained during the #EndSARS protests.
Recall that in 2020, some Nigerian youths had taken to the streets to protest against police brutality and the situation in the country.
The protest led to attacks on police stations, formations, and officers across the country.
While some of the protesters were released, others are believed to still be held up in various police stations.
