Many people were injured today when the police fired teargas canisters at people who converged to commemorate the two years anniversary of the #EndSARS protest.
Outside the teargas canisters, popularly known as smoke, the police were also accused of firing gunshots to disperse the mammoth crowd that converged at the tollgate.
A victim, Ifeanyi Iwekasi, told Daily Sun that the youths were at the tollgate to mourn those who were killed, maimed or detained by the police during the two years #EndSARS protest and to remind the government that she has not fulfilled its promises.
According to the activist, “over 50 people have been injured. They were scampering for safety when the police fired tear gas canisters on us. They also fired gunshots into the air. I am not saying that they shot the guns at us, but we were injured by the teargas.”
