Shelve #EndSARS Protest, Adegboruwa Begs, Says Enough Of Bloodshed

A legal practitioner, Ebunolu Adegboruwa(SAN), on Wednesday called on Lagosians to shelve the planned protest, saying the bloodshed, mayhem, repressions and violence of October 2020 should not be repeated. According to him, the plea became necessary because it was reported that there were calls for protest and counter protest, at the Lekki Toll Gate, slated for Saturday, February 13, 2021. The human rights lawyer in a statement titled, ‘Special appeal to Nigerians, Lagosians on protest and counter protest’ adduced 10 reasons why the protest should be shelved. He said “The Judicial Panel of Inquiry is still sitting and it is yet to make any finding or recommendations on the Lekki Toll Gate incident of October 2020. The alleged bloodshed, mayhem, repressions and violence of October 2020 in general should not be encouraged to be repeated. A protest or counter protest at this time, may work to jeoppardise the overall work of the panel, the witnesses appearing or to appear, the testimonies, the investigations or even affects its ultimate assignment”
