‘Nigeria needs healing, not clampdown on #EndSARS promoters’

The Southern and Middle Belt Leaders’ Forum (SMBLF) on Wednesday demanded the release of all #EndSARS protesters being detained across the country or that they should be charged to court without any further delay.

The group said at this point in time, what the nation needs is healing after several days of protest against police brutality; insisting that the government cannot “kill the #EndSARS protest with terror.”

Spokesmen of the group, Yinka Odumakin (South West), Chief Guy Ikokwu (South East), Senator Bassey Henshaw (South- South) and Dr. Isuwa Dogo (Middle Belt) made this known in a statement on yesterday.

They condemned the labelling of #EndSARS protesters as terrorists, saying the Federal Government should be more concerned with the healing process.

They decried the detention of several protesters as well as the seizure of international passports of some of the #EndSARS agitators.

They lamented “the tyrannical use of state power” which, they said, led to the crisis in the first place, saying that “those who are the problem cannot bring solution.”

“We are fully persuaded that the regime is sowing another seed that it would not be able to handle the harvest when the fruit comes as we demand the release of all the arrested or their being charged to court without delay,” the statement said.
