Photos: Stanley Ogidi, Olatunji Obasa and Olukayode JaiyeolaViolence that rocked #EndSARS protests across the country worsened on Tuesday with 43 protesters and six policemen losing their lives.
In Mushin, 17 people lost their lives during a clash involving hoodlums and policemen attached to the Olosan Division. An eyewitness, who gave his name simply as Ashimiu, said when the hoodlums refused to leave the road, in a bid to disperse them, the policemen allegedly released some bullets into the crowd, adding that no fewer than 17 people had been reported dead.
Enraged by the development, it was learnt that a clash occurred between the protesters, including hoodlums, and policemen attached to the division and during the attack, the Orile Police Station was set ablaze. It was learnt that while three protesters were shot head by the police, two policemen died in a reprisal.
“They have killed more than seven people that I have seen with my eyes. They were killed with real bullets and not even rubber bullets,” the recorder of the footage said. “The soldiers are shooting sporadically, they put off the street light and the billboard to make the place to be in total darkness. They started shooting up but they shot at the protesters as well and I have seen two people that have sustained bullet wounds.
It was gathered that the boys were protesting when an altercation reportedly broke out amongst them around 6pm. People were also seen in the footage lamenting and mourning the circumstances surrounding the death of the victims. An eyewitness, Biodun Agbabiaka, he said, “On Tuesday, some people had to volunteer themselves to be on the lookout for people robbing members of the public of their valuables after the protest and that was how it turned into a territorial clash, involving cult members.
The police also confirmed that some of its AK-47 rifles were stolen by the hoodlums, who invaded the place and burnt it down. The PUNCH gathered that residents of the border communities seized the opportunity of the ongoing protest to demand an end to the incessant killings by operatives of the NSC. The security guard said, “The protest was initially peaceful, but when the hoodlums came they killed four people and injured many others.”

You mean 49 killed by NigeriaGov ?
Ogbeni say it as it is. 'Soldiers killed 49 peaceful protesters in a state ordered massacre whilst they together with other survivors (all victims of the state) sang the National Anthem holding the Nigerian Flag'
Last time I checked, it was 78!
49 from a fired Machine gun? Are you fucking kidding me?
What a shame! But still on ENDSARS
NBright007 Are you mad? Which 49? It's more than 100 killed not adding the ones military took away. May your sons and daughters not see the light of the day. EndSARS NIGERIABLEEDS NigeriaYouthsLiveMatter
