Police Beating And Harassing Peaceful #EndSARS Protesters In Nyanya, Abuja [Video]

Nigerian police officers have attacked Nigerians protesting against the extrajudicial activities of the now-defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.

A video captured on monday morning at Nyanya, Abuja, shows a young man was being brutalised by the police few seconds after he tried calming the #EndSARS protesters.

It was also gathered that Mobile police at Nyanya Mopol junction, Abuja, came and attacked protesters and even flogged a female journalist who was covering the #EndSARS protest.

Below are some of the videos circulating on the socila media:
