Former Kaduna lawmaker, Sen Shehu Sani has urged President Bola Tinubu to order the release of those still detained over the #EndSARS protest in 2020.
In 2020, some Nigerian youths had taken to the streets to protest against police brutality and the situation in the country. The protest led to attacks on police stations, formations, and officers across the country. While some of the arrested protesters were released, others are believed to continue being held up in various police stations.
While speaking at the Democracy day Presidential dinner held at the State House Conference Centre Abuja, Sani said those who took part in the protest should also be considered as champions of democracy.
