Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has appealed to residents of the state to stop the #EndSARS protests.
The protest which has gone peaceful since they started last week, turned violent in Surulere today October 12. A driver and a police inspector were killed in the clash between the protesters and the police.
In a post shared on his Twitter handle, the governor said he is making the appeal as a father.
He tweeted:
I was at the venue of one of the #EndSARS protests today. The safety of everyone involved in peaceful protests across Lagos is important and communicating with the CP, this is what we want to guarantee on all sides.
Tomorrow, I will be meeting with HE Pres. @MBuhari in Abuja. pic.twitter.com/No0XT8o8QP
