The EndSARS protest, which gripped the country for about two weeks in October, resumed in Nigeria on Thursday with protesters marching by the streets of Lagos State.

Old women and some young men brandished various placards in the area, defying the scorching heat to march for almost two hours.

They continued to chant, “End SARS and we march for our children.”

A number of them were also seen carrying the Nigerian flag in their hands, with microphones to make their voices audible.

The EndSARS protest, which had turned into a blood field on Tuesday, October 20, when the personnel of the Nigerian Army went to the Lekki Tollgate area and opened fire on the crowds.

A day after the shootings, the Lagos State Governor had initially denied any loss of life from the gunfire or that he was aware of the deployment of soldiers.

Later, he admitted that two persons were killed in the incident, while the army said in a terse statement that the state government requested a military clampdown on the protesters to enforce its earlier-than-scheduled curfew.
