Talking about people in the prison, what about those property being destroying and those killed by the endsars people,

IF THEY WERE INVOLVED IN THE DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY, THEY SHOULD BE TAKEN TO COURT AND JAILED. IMPUNITY SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO PERSIST IN OUR SOCIETY.

More reason to vote out ApC so they regain their freedom

VERY SAD. THE BEST THING NIGERIA GIVE TO THEIR CITIZENS IS TORTURE AND DEATH.THE GOVERNMENT GIFT TO THEIR CITIZENS IS NOTHING BUT HARDSHIP, SUFFERING, TORTURE AND PAINFUL DEATH EVERYWHERE. HEARTLESS GOVERNMENT

Over 5,000 people with camera phones, yet, no single picture Every single picture released happened to be lies 2 years after, no names, no addresses, no pictures. 'It's Massacre of Ghosts'

Every single police man killed during EndSars have Names and address ...but, the protesters are ghost without identity.😎

The Nigeria govt did a good job stopping the protest as the protest almost burn down the nation

They had almost run the nation aground. Justice must be served on them. No Amnesty International observation matters. They argents of destabilization on behalf of wicked powers.

We can never forget

Na wao

I can't Believe Protesters Are Still in Detention, I Call On The Release of All The Protesters still In Detention over 24Months

EndSARS was a revolutionary movement but poorly managed, thus, wrongly highjacked by disgruntled elements. Let's be Obedient to eschew a re- occurrence

In a liberal Democracy? Why not charge them to court, if they are culpable? The major difference between democratic system and the millitary dictatorship is to the rule of law, and protection of the fundamental rights of the citizens.

That's why we need to pray and be wise in choosing our next leaders. Not the careless ones. That don't respect the feelings of the citizens. All is about them. Come to think of it, isn't the toll gate in Vi belong to Tinubu? Were lots of people where killed? Please YOUTH be wise

Sowoore!!!!....may God forgive you.

So sad RIP to all our lost on endsars protest in 20/10/2020 Fuck bad government

Those who brought Buhari to power ought to have been mindful of his past in 1984 as a tyrant,brutal extremists,dictator and religious fanatic etc 🇳🇬 youth are suffering in D hands of bad leadership,And some youths are stil campaigning for APC 2023 🇳🇬 is a crime against humanity.

This Amnesty international will never help you, their own is to report the news and go to bed. If you don't wake up and fight for your liberation, your name na sorry.

Nigerians should be blamed for what is going on in the country, because we are still sleeping, and we vote in our dreams after they get into power, that's when we get up

The evil government in an evil country, still some people are supporting the continuous existence of the Country and government. So sad. End one Nigeria you people don't listen. You will keep suffering and dies then .
