 Former Governor Gbenga Daniel of Ogun State on Friday declared his support for Nigerian youths who have been on the streets to call for an end to police brutality and operations of the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) unit of the Nigeria Police Force, DAILY POST reports.


Gbenga Daniel, in a statement on his social media handles, said “#ENDSARS is the subjective condition for an impending revolution on the journey towards restructuring of our country’s political system.”


The former Governor said he shared in the pains of the Nigerian youth, who he said have been victims of unemployment, poor education and poor economy for long.


“I share in the pains of Nigerian youth who for long have been victims of social deprivations such as limited opportunities, unemployment, poor economy and education,” he noted.


As leaders, Daniel opined that, “we need to listen clearly to them; we must match our words and with the appropriate actions,” saying “#EndPolicebrutality.”


FCE TV reports that the relaunched Abeokuta protest has continued to gather momentum with celebrities and aides of Gov Dapo Abiodun joining the protesters.
