#EndSARS: Operatives in Buhari regime hire thugs to attack Abuja protesters, Sowore alleges
Former presidential aspirant, Omoyele Sowore has alleged that operatives of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) regime hired thugs to attack Abuja EndSARS protesters.
His comments came after a video surfaced on social media, showing stick-wielding miscreants attacking peaceful EndSARS protesters.
#EndSARS These stick-bearing urchins were clearly recruited by @MBuhari regime operatives to attack peaceful #SARSMUSTEND protesters, they’ve used police/army, to kill and brutalize protesters, now they’ve resorted to using non-state actors! Don’t fret! #RevolutionNow pic.twitter.com/tzhceHG2UJ

Recall that protesters have earlier been brutalized with police and military men as seen in videos going round on social media.
Reacting to today’s attack on protesters, Sowore said,
“Privileged information: It has been revealed that the stick-wielding protesters were mobilised by the chairman of Jabi Motor Park, acting with operatives of @mbuhari regime who contracted them to attack peaceful protesters.
“Next, they are dropping voice notes into WhatsApp groups to turn this into an ethnic war! We must immediately swing into action to denounce this planned outcome by the regime, this is how they’ve figured out how to truncate the agitations #RevolutionNow,” he added in another tweet.
