REVEALED!!! 69 Persons Killed In #EndSARS Protests – President Buhari—A statement has been released by the President concerning the #EndSARS protest raging across the country reporting that at least 69 people has been killed.
The president announced the death toll during a virtual meeting with former leaders and security chiefs on Friday according to BBC sources.
According to Buhari, 51 civilians, 11 police officers, and seven soldiers had been killed in the unrest.
The statement released by Femi Adesina, presidential spokesman, at the end of the meeting also quoted Buhari as saying it is unfortunate that the “initial genuine and well-intended protest of youths was hijacked and misdirected”.
”Unfortunately, the protesters refused to call off the protest and engage the government to address their grievances. Instead, they became emboldened and gradually turned violent,” Buhari was quoted to have said.
He maintained that the federal government will not fold its arms and allow “miscreants and criminals continue to perpetrate acts of hooliganism in the country”.
