As the world celebrates the World Human Rights Day, Nigerians have called on the Federal Government not to pay lip service to the protection of lives,

The government has also been tasked to revisit the root cause of the 2020 EndSars protest.

“The military made it even worse even though they are Nigerians like us. What Nigerians have done to fellow Nigerians since 1960 is more than what the British did from 1861 to 1960. Folakemi Abimbola on her part asked the Federal Government to revisit the issues that led to the EndSARS nationwide protest against the police in 2020.

“You can imagine, the panel of inquiry set up by state governments, what have been their conclusions? Nigerians just came and spoke English and aged tears but what came out at the end? Have we seen any compensation? Have we seen any prosecution? I am tired of this country but that does not make me less patriotic. I still believe in Nigeria but I don’t trust the system.”
