On October 20, last year, our brothers and sisters were maimed and brutally murdered. Our nation’s flag was stained with the blood of our people.
What was our offence? What did we do wrong? We only demanded that the police stop killing us unjustly. We cried for justice, we called for a better Nigeria, we clamoured for good governance. But, what did we get? We were massacred. We were shot at like common criminals for exercising our right, our right to peaceful protest.
We had begun a peaceful protest, the #Endsars protest. This time, we were united, as we gathered at the toll gate of Lekki, in Lagos, the Isaac Boro Park in Port Harcourt, the unity fountain in Abuja and other places in other cities. We marched through the streets of different states and cities fighting for a cause. The streets became our home. We slept, woke up and fed on bare floors. We made up our minds to do this for our future and that of our unborn.
Seeing the fire in our eyes, seeing how dogged we were, they knew we were fed up with their bad rule. So they tried to stop us. In a bid to curtail the protest, they employed different means which we foiled. They tried to send us away by showing false solidarity and making us offers. It failed! We stood by our conscience, we refused to be distracted. We had become more serious than they thought. They sponsored thugs who teamed up with security agencies to attack peaceful protesters and scare us away from the streets, but we were resilient and focused on our goal.
