Nigerian youths on Friday resumed protest against police brutality and extortion at the Lagos State House of Assembly, Alausa, Ikorodu, and Gbagada.

It was learnt that the #EndSARS protesters blocked the Gbagada-Oshodi expressway, causing gridlock.

Some of the protesters were seen chanting “End SARS, End SWAT”. They also shut down the Ikorodu Garage Roundabout.

At Ikorodu, the protesters claimed that they feel more secured with the operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad in their community.

“Since SARS operatives have been banned, we recorded a low crime rate. Who has now been robbing us or giving the robbers weapons?” one of the Ikorodu protesters stated. When they regrouped at the Lagos State House of Assembly, they insisted on a comprehensive reform of the police force.
