A peaceful demonstration by #EndSARS protesters in Surulere area of Lagos has ended in tragedy, with the target of the protest bearing its beastly pangs again, killing one of the unarmed protesters.
The marchers were peaceful until some armed policeman shot at one of them, killing him.
Fellow protesters and a medical team embedded in the demonstration, tried in vain to save him.
Courage Ngele, one of the protesters announced the tragedy:
"@jon_d_doe: I am crying 😢 😢 😢. Look at humanity on display here. See the spirit of the average Nigerian youth buhari called lazy and useless. This is what we do and this is why we demand for a better country. But these leaders don't care. #sarsmustend #SURULEREPROTEST pic.twitter.com/FzjGHuC0KT
