Ezekwesili rejects report that #EndSARS protesters broke into Edo prison
Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili has rejected the report which accuses EndSARS protesters of breaking into a prison in Edo.
In a series of tweets, Ezekwesili stated that she refuses to believe that the protesters who have been conducting themselves in a reasonable manner are the same people who broke into the prison.
The former presidential aspirant urged the government to step up now and protect the rights of the EndSARS protesters nationwide.
She wrote:
“While young #EndSARS citizens point the country toward an innovative future that can compare to global standards, their government acts in opposite direction with their out-dated strong-arm tactics. What’s that game in Benin all about, @ProfOsinbajo @MBuhari? Please stop.
“I hope @NigeriaGov, Presidency @NGRPresident @MBuhari and his VP @ProfOsinbajo are aware of the international mechanisms the world now has for handling state-sanctioned crimes. Step up now and protect the rights of the #EndSARS protesters nationwide. You are not leading now.
“Is it the same #EndSARS protesters we have all been watching all week, conducting their protests almost like a community renewal program by looking out for one another; that will suddenly go and break a prison in Benin? Please stop the expensive joke.”
