Orile iganmu police station is currently on fire. Hoodlums wants to sabotage our efforts to #Endsars
Setting police stations on fire is part of the government’s game plan, but we will surely win this fight.

I live in Orile-Iganmu, and I’m one of the people convening peaceful protesters, and I can conveniently say that the people who did this are thugs and not the peaceful protesters. We’re supposed to start a three days peaceful protest today with the aim of blocking 1/2

I don’t think that the peaceful protester have hands in all these burning of Police Stations and breaking of Prison walls
But one thing is sure and that thing is both the thugs
and the sponsors will not go unpunished
They really want to frustrate the efforts of the youth by this wicked act.
What is wrong with these hoodlums
While are they trying to spoil the efforts of peaceful ENDSARS protesters
This is soo bad
I think we should be protesting peacefully,not damaging government property
Some of analyst have said that before that the government will send thugs and hoodlums to sabotage the effort of protesters and I pray that God will not grant them the power. It’s not possible for the protesters to go ahead and burnt down police station.
How would those people fighting for freedom will go ahead and fight evils with evil, the protesters are not fools and ignorance, they all know that this police station was built with their tax and they will go ahead burn it, nooooo. It is a lie the protesters are not the one.
I don’t think protesters are responsible for all these damages that has been happening. They are the one contribute more to prosthetic leg for the one who needs it, they also contributed money for the human that is selling groundnut and many more. Those who contributed to the growth of the people will now burnt police station, lie lie lie.
This protest has been hijack by hudlums. This is not what we want
Stupidity in high place.
Anybody who told you to be yourself simply couldn’t have given you worse advice.Leave police alone ooh
I don’t insult people. I just describe them.
Those hoodlums at the works of the government and we are not gonna allow them to distrupt our peaceful protests..
Even without any explanation, it should be known to everyone that non of #endsars protesters belong to this. We know what is going on, everything has with Nigeria government, they can rope anybody but excluding #endsars protesters.
I don’t think the peaceful protesters is responsible for all this.
