Confiance News gathered on Friday from Twitter.

“Authorities should look into the distress calls coming from Oyigbo in Rivers. #SecureNigeria,” the convener of #EndSARS, Segun Awosanya at about 2.36 a.m West African Time (WAT).

Since the second wave of the #EndSARS protest began on October 8, hundreds of peaceful protesters have lost their lives, many injured and properties vandalised and destroyed.

The most horrifying of the shootings is the one perpetrated by some members of the Nigerian Army, who opened fire on peaceful #EndSARS protesters that assembled at the Lekki TollGate and while they were singing the National Anthem on October 20.

SARS is the acronym for the defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad, a unit of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) which was originally set up to tackle crime but later became a unit for extortion, brutality, extrajudicial killings and rape of the Nigerian citizens, particularly young men.
