#EndSARS Protest: Armed Thugs Attacking People And Vandalising Properties In Ketu, Lagos [Video]

Armed thugs and suspected cultists have taken over the ongoing protest against the extrajudicial activities of the now-defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in Ketu area of Lagos State.

It was gathered that residents woke up on Tuesday morning to discover that the thugs have blocked Ikorodu raod at Ketu bus stop amidst chants: “#EndSARS and say No to bad government.”

The armed thugs are also reportedly attacking traders and passersby along Ketu-Ojota expressway, while others are vandalizing and stealing people’s properties.

Many are said to have been injured in the fresh attack which became bloody since last Saturday when suspected cult gang members hijacked the #EndSARS protest.

An eyewitness said traders and stranded passengers waiting for commercial bus to take them to their respective business places ran for the dear lives.

Below are some of the videos and reactions on Twitter:

Breaking: Këtu is boiling now. What baffles me is that upon the mayhem being unleashed by the gang thugs, no policeman from Këtu police station came out.
My phone was collected, and all the money on me gone.#EndSAR

I think other protest grounds should stop for now and just merge with Alausa and Lekki. Sponsored Hoodlums are trying to hijack the protest. The government is looking for what to pin on us. We have enough casualties, we don’t want more #EndSARS

Apparently the protest in ketu was peaceful ,after protesters concluded the protest around 7:30pm , thugs decided to cause chaos and that was what led to the unrest and the news right now is that it’s escalated to this morning.. .#EndSARS

The supremely annoying thing is that there is Ketu Divisional Police station right in front of that place.

Why are the Police mute?

They are rioting in ketu and 2 people have been reportedly killed, to think there is a police station right in front of the riot spot & no police was at the scene to even attempt a control of the menace..
Police & thugs working as colleagues is amazingly unique to see #EndSARS
