Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani on Monday urged President Bola Tinubu to release all #EndSARS protesters that are still in detention.
Sani said Tinubu should release the detainees in the spirit of June 12.
Posting on X, the former lawmaker wrote: “In the spirit of the June 12 struggle which we fought 30 years ago, I call on the President to release all persons still held in the Nigerian Prisons because of the #EndSARS protest.”
In 2020, some Nigerian youths had taken to the streets to protest against police brutality and the situation in the country.
The protest led to attacks on police stations, formations, and officers across the country.
While some of the protesters were released, others are believed to still be held up in various police stations.
