#EndSARS: Pastor Adeboye backs protest against police brutality

Published




The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has finally backed the #EndSARS protests against police brutality.

Adeboye made this known in a tweet on Wednesday evening as the protest increases across the country.

His reaction comes about four days after Twitter users dragged him for not joining the #EndSARS protests.

The respected cleric tweeted, “Our daughters will not be able to prophesy and young men will not see visions if we don’t keep them alive.

“I support the youths in this peaceful protest as they “speak up” to #EndPoliceBrutality #EndSARS #ENDSWAT.”

Adeboye, who is a mentor to Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, had earlier in the year embarked on a protest against the killings in several parts of the country.

He had two weeks ago called for restructuring the country,  a move which was criticised by the Presidency.

Thousands of youths have been protesting against the extrajudicial killings by policemen perpetrated mostly by men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad.

A rights group, Amnesty International said that about 10 persons have been killed in the protests.

Despite the dismissal of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), the protesters are not ready to retreat or surrender.
