Two years later, some of them are still detained without trial, which is against the law, and those whose accounts were frozen for allegedly sponsoring the protests have yet to regain access to their deposits, which is also unlawful, unless the government can prove otherwise. The result is that many of them still depend on unethical, even criminal practices like bribe taking, extortion and begging, among others, to cater for their families. They, in fact, made five demands: Immediate release of all arrested protesters; justice for all deceased victims of police brutality and appropriate compensation for their families; setting up of an independent body to oversee the investigation and prosecution of all reports of police misconduct; psychological evaluation and retaining of all disbanded SARS officers before they can be redeployed and increase of police salary so that they are adequately compensated for protecting lives and property of citizens.

Some of the burnt police stations in Lagos are still in shatters and unrepaired. This statist method of the police running to the headquarters for any far-reaching decisions should be discouraged.

I can tell you for free, the EndSARS protest will affect the 2023 election.” This is over two years after innocent citizens were killed no one whether in the army or in government have been made to pay.
