Lagos says 103 dead EndSARS victims not from Lekki Tollgate, mischief makers at work

July 24, 2023

A tweet from @fkabudu, a frontline protester, says, “For the users, these are the prompt numbers: Press 1 for medical. Press 2 for legal. Press 3 for food and supplies. Press 4, 5, or 6 for mental health emergencies.’’

It was learnt that the online radio platform that was launched by the protesters is to aid coordination of the #EndSARS protests nationwide through effective and timely communication.

The online radio, which is accessible via https://s4.radio.co/s99d55c85b/listen, has programmes and live reports of missing and found #EndSARS protesters, and other updates on the protests across the country.

“Soro Soke,” a Yoruba phrase, which translates as ‘Speak Up,’ has become a slogan for End SARS campaign in the past few days, after protesters in Lagos State urged Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to ‘soro soke’ while he was addressing the youths. It asks Nigerians to speak up against bad governance and resist corruption.

The Twitter handle of the station, @Sorosoke247, reads, “24/7 update on all things protest. We are for a better nation powered by value for life and good governance.”

It was learnt that songs calling for a reformed Nigeria were also heard on the radio station.

Publisher of Ovations Dele Momodu and former Minister for Education, Oby Ezekwesili, and some other prominent Nigerians have shown support for the initiatives.

Oby Ezekwesili tweeted, “I heard our innovative young ones of the #EndSARS protests have just launched an online radio station? Wow! These ones na real Generation! #GenerationIncredibles.’

Backstory: The Nigerian youths have been carrying out #EndSARS protests across the country to press for the disbandment of the special anti-robbery squad, following human rights abuses, corruption and extra-judicial killings. They are also asking for a comprehensive reform of the Nigerian Police Force.

Despite government’s efforts in agreeing to their 5 points demand, which includes the disbandment of SARS and the setting up of a judicial commission of enquiry into some of these atrocities, the protesters still insist on going ahead with their action due to perceived lack of seriousness of the government and lack of trust.

What this means: This action shows the resolve of the protesters not to back down anytime soon as they hope to sustain this protest until they are assured of the government’s commitment to meeting their demands.

    We should also cry out against hike in prices of commodities. A bag of Local rice sells for as high as 30,000. Even common salt is not common anymore.
    We should also cry out against their exaggerated salaries and allowances.
    They are bleeding Nigeria dry.

    Please let’s restrategize on how to ensure this mission towards better governance is achieved. All there big salaries should be reviewed, let’s talk about the power sector, food is very very expensive including our Nigerian own rice, the citizens have no single practical right. Just is denied or completely perverted. Everything in Nigeria is not right. During the Covid-19 lockdown no single palliative for each citizen of this Nigeria I only heard news of palliative we never saw or got anything. Corruption in every level of government. Please we are tired, frustrated and many are gone into depression. Nigeria situation is in a sorry state who will bail us out of this ????

      I think we are heading towards a solution. Let’s not relent in our agitation but we need to strategize towards 2030. We shouldn’t elect anyone above 55years into offices. I also think there’s need to reduce our highest currency to #200 or #100 because our money doesn’t have value again. #EndSars, Endpolice brutality, End bad governance.
