Hoodlums attack #EndSARS protesters in Abuja

The nationwide #EndSARS protest which has lasted at least a week in Nigeria has now assumed a more bloody dimension as some cutlass-wielding young men of the core northern extraction have reportedly confronted the #EndSARS protesters on peaceful at the popular Berger Junction, Abuja.

In the Mellie that followed, the cutlass wielders have reportedly shattered windscreens of vehicles while humans scampered for safety.

Below are some tweets by on the incident:

“These are some of the proSARS Hausa boys sent to disrupt and assault peaceful protests in Berger, Abuja. #EndSWAT

“Yesterday they used army to attack protesters in Abuja. Today they used paid thugs who have attacked people and destroyed cars

Some of the guys apprehended by the protesters said they were paid 1,500.

1,500 to disrupt a movement to better your own life. Shame. #EndSARS #EndSWAT” – @DrOlufunmilayo
