A group of police officers were recorded beating #EndSARS protesters holding the national flag of Nigeria in the nation’s capital, FCT, Abuja and Nasarawa States.

The videos which are currently making rounds on social media showed the uniformed men of the Nigerian police officers whipping the protesters.

Recall that the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu has warned against attack on protesters, adding that “the fundamental right of freedom of expression, assembly, and movement must always be upheld and protected by the police”.

Watch the videos below:

Look at Police Officers beating peaceful protesters in Abuja. They have just flags and cardboard papers yet they are being beaten the same police men the IGP apparently said he ordered not to attack peaceful protesters. This is shameful.#IGPMustResign #AbujaProtests #EndSARS pic.twitter.com/5u5u76qlEo

“Police hve not just dispersed us, but they r beating us at Nyanya right now. We tried 2 report 2 dis police man here, but they beat us in his presence. I was whipped for bringing out my phone. This can’t be in vain,” @nten_ekpang tweeted from Nawarawa.
