The group also demanded due compensation for the family of the journalist and other victims of police brutality in the country.

A civil society group, Nigerians Against Bad Policies, has called on the Nigerian Government to begin investigation into the killing of Alex Ogbu, a journalist, who was felled by police bullet on January 21, 2020 at Berger Roundabout, Wuse, Abuja, after a brutal police crackdown on protesters calling for the release of leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Ibrahim El-Zakzaky.

He noted that Nigerians had continued to suffer similar police brutality in different degrees despite the #EndSARS protest. "We know protesters don’t shoot at fellow protesters, we also know that protesters don’t shoot at journalist nor carry arms or guns to protest. From our experience, it has always been the police and other armed forces of government who have been responsible for different attacks on innocent protesters in Nigeria.
