Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has condemned the attack on the #EndSARS protesters in Lagos and some other cities in the country.

While reacting the attacks on innocent protesters in Alausa, Lagos State by some thugs on Thursday morning, The Governor said the government will never tolerate the attacks and directed security agents to “immediately protect peaceful protesters from miscreants.”

Sanwo-Olu acknowledged that the hoodlums were attempting to cause chaos in the peaceful protest.

He wrote on Twitter: “I strongly condemn the attack of peaceful protesters by armed and unscrupulous elements trying to cause chaos in Alausa today.”

“My government will never tolerate the attack of protesters. Security agents will immediately protect peaceful protesters from miscreants.”

I have received reports involving a bus in our state bus service. Our buses will never be involved in such activities and I have instructed the state team to get to the root of it.

I will address our residents live today on developments.

I understand the atmosphere of distrust in which things are happening and how rapidly the situation has escalated, but I need to let every Lagosian understand that our government believes firmly in democratic ideals and will continue to act in accordance with our belief.
