#ENDSARS Protest: Gunshots Reportedly Fired At Protesters In Nigeria

Over the past two weeks, the #EndSars protests in Nigeria have caught international attention. People have been taking to the street to protest police brutality at the hand of the Nigerian Police Force’s Special Anti-Robbery Unit who Amnesty International found to have a pattern of misconduct including police brutality, extortion, and more in 2017.

Despite promises being made that SARS would be dissolved, those types of promises have been made previously by officials. People are still in the streets and things have turned worse for the protesters as reports of gunshots fired at protesters at Lekki Toll in Nigeria. DJ Switch took to Instagram Live where she documented what was going down including one man who was shot in the leg while holding the Nigerian flag. “There are military men with actual bullets, they have shot several people,” she said. She revealed the title of the commander at the gate, Ifo Amata, as she’s heard demanding for an ambulance.

According to Switch’s IG Live, seven people have died at the Lekki Toll Gate. Twitter page @ThisIsAfrica reports that all sources of lights were switched off to make it difficult to film. CCTV cameras were reportedly also removed, according to protesters.

The shooting arrives after the government tried to enforce a curfew in Lagos due to the protests in the streets.

Meanwhile, Affleck’s daughter, Violet, recently visited Lopez on the East Coast.

In related news, Lopez has canceled her This Is Me… Live tour, which was set to include 30 summer shows.
