The ongoing nationwide protest against the extrajudicial activities of the now-defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), have been disrupted by weapon wielding hoodlums at Alausa Secretariat, in Ikeja, Lagos State.
KanyiDaily had reported that there is an ongoing #EndSARS protest across the country against the SARS tactical unit of the Nigerian Police Force over its brutality, illegal arrest, extortion, extra-judicial killings, among others.
It was gathered that early as 7am on Thursday, the #EndSARS protesters had rose from Lagos State House of Assembly to barricade Lagos/Ibadan Expressway and prevented vehicular movement on the expressway.
During the protest, some hoodlums surfaced from nowhere wielding dangerous weapons to intimidate the protesters. The protesters scampered for safety at first, but later regrouped after repelling the thugs.
Below are some of the videos circulating the social media:
So the government is so shameless that they hired thugs from mushin to disrupt the peaceful protest at Alausa, then shamelessly used BRT buses to convey them. Baba Àlàdo or whatever his name is Will not die a peaceful death#AlausaProtest#EndSWAT#EndSARSpic.twitter.com/iHru0mYFn4

Think about it. MC Oluomo paid Baba Alado to obtain thugs from mushin to disrupt the Peaceful #AlausaProtest because his boss' (Jagaban) funds is seriously being fucked with. If for anything, we already have the government in a tight corner.#EndSARSpic.twitter.com/znPDe78dhX

This is coming barely 24 hours after Pro-SARS supporters, who are mostly made up of Fulani and Hausa boys, allegedly attacked #EndSARS protesters in Berger, Abuja.
