The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, SAN, has said that one of his drivers died as a result of the #EndSARS demonstration in Abuja on Wednesday.
He said that the driver, Mr. Yohanna Shankuk, was hit by a vehicle around the Berger area of Abuja.
According to the minister, the driver died as a result of the protest by youths against police brutality and extortion in the country.
Keyamo made this known via his Twitter handle on Thursday.
He tweeted, “I regret to announce that my driver, Mr. Yohanna Shankuk, died yesterday in Abuja as a result of the protests.
“A vehicle that saw advancing protesters at Berger roundabout, made a U-turn, took the one-way back and ran over him as he was making his way on foot to my private office.”
The minister earlier claimed that the unending #EndSARS protest rocking the country is becoming a mob action.
According to him, some criminal elements have mixed with honest protesters to unleash terror on citizens and members of the Nigeria Police Force.
