Suspected thugs have hijacked the ongoing peaceful protest against the extrajudicial activities of the now-defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) at Herbert Macaulay way, Yaba area of Lagos State.
KanyiDaily had reported that there is an ongoing #EndSARS protest across the country against the SARS tactical unit of the Nigerian Police Force over its brutality, illegal arrest, extortion, extra-judicial killings, among others.
It was gathered that during the #EndSARS protest on Monday morning, some thugs attacked the operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of the Lagos state police command.
Series of videos circulating on the social media shows the thugs hurling stones and sticks at the vehicles of the RRS team while the operatives scampered for safety.
