Video: Survivor of Lekki Toll Gate EndSARS Massacre Speaks

 

DJ Switch, who was one of the speakers for the #EndSARS protests at the Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos finally speaks out for the first time since she luckily survived the Lekki Toll Gate Massacre of the Nigerian youths on Tuesday night of October 20, 2020. The young human rights activists were having a peaceful protest against the rampant cases of horrifying police brutality and extra judicial killings of crime suspects and innocent people in Nigeria.

The End SARS is a decentralised social movement against police brutality in Nigeria. The slogan calls for an end to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), a controversial unit of the Nigerian Police Force with a long record of human-rights abuses.

The protests started in 2017 as a Twitter campaign using the hashtag #ENDSARS to demand the Nigerian government disband and reform the police unit.
