“We Suffered During EndSars” – Nigerian Police Force

Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the public relations officer for the Nigerian Police Force, has made claimed that the police were gravely affected during the #EndSARS protest that rocked the nation in 2020.

In an interview with Punch, Adejobi stated that he is not convinced that EndSARS was intended to reform the police because the force suffered so many losses as a result of the crisis, including lives and property.

He also stated that the original agitators lost control, grip, and focus during the protest.

He said; “Well, I don’t like discussing #EndSARS for many reasons. However, it has become a history and reference point for many discussions today across the globe.

“I was involved in the crisis. It was not entirely a protest. I was the PPRO in Lagos State which was the epicentre of the #EndSARS protest then. It was terrible. The original agitators had some protests but they lost grip, control and focus.

“So, personally, I was not convinced that #EndSARS was meant to reform the police because the police lost so many things to the crisis, including lives and property. You cannot claim to speak for me and still kill me.”
