I helped 15 arrested Protesters regain Freedom during EndSARS – Desmond Elliot

Nigerian actor and lawmaker, Desmond Elliot has disclosed how he secured the freedom of 15 protesters arrested during the EndSARS protests against police brutality in 2020.

Speaking during an interview on Your View talk show on TVC, the lawmaker said he was one of the earliest supporters of the EndSARS protest.

“From the state house of assembly, when the whole thing started, I was one of the first people to say, ‘listen government, listen to the people,’ and the people agreed, he said

“A few days later, a lot of people were arrested in Area C command. I was actually at plenary and before I came out, I saw my phone flooded with messages and I drove all the way to Area C.

“I didn’t leave Area C and Panti till 2 am; to free almost 15 people. I made sure they were freed. And how was it possible that in two days, somebody just changes? It’s not possible. Come on Nigerians, let’s think about it for a moment.”
