Former governor of Anambra state, Mr. Peter Obi has condemned Tuesday’s killing of unarmed #EndSARS protesters describing it as unconscionable.
Obi in a series of tweets on Wednesday noted that the death of the young protesters was not just a loss to their families, but that of the whole nation.
The Next Edition reports that the youths had been on the streets for over two weeks demanding an end to police brutality and bad governance.
Reacting to the killings Obi said: “The killing of peaceful protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate and other parts of the country yesterday is condemnable. It should not have happened.
“To imagine that young people seeking to enthrone a better Nigeria where shot at even while they were singing the national anthem is unconscionable.
“We cannot be wasting precious lives that represent the foundation of our future. It is not just a loss to the families who are grieving, but the collective loss of our nation.
“My deepest condolences to the families and friends of all those affected. May their souls rest in peace and their memory a blessing.” -PO
