Sowore alleges 2000 #EndBadGovernance protesters detained, 40 killed by security agents

The publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, has alleged that at least 2,000 Nigerian youths who participated in the #EndBadGovernance protests earlier this month are still in detention.

Sowore, who raised the alarm in a post on X, said over 40 of the protesters were killed while many including 27 journalists and whistleblowers have been arrested by security agents since the protest.

He wrote: “Just one #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria revolt, @officialABAT and his goons squad have detained 2000 protesters, killed 40 peaceful protesters, injured many, including 27 journalists, abducted whistleblowers, raided the offices of @NLCHeadquarters and harassed members of their families.

“I think this is why the NIA DG resigned; having helped @mbuhari to commit several atrocities, including the abduction and extraordinary rendition of @MaziNnamdiKanu, he couldn’t continue with the scale of violations and abuse planned for Nigerian by the Tinubu regime. Or maybe he was just below par for the task ahead!

“The darkest days are here, but we MUST all roundly reject and RESIST. This is full-blown fascism. Let everyone take a position NOW.
A #REVOLUTION is INEVITABLE at this point.”
