Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Tuesday joined the #EndSARS protest in Alausa against police brutality.
Mr Sanwo-Olu received a letter containing the protesters’ demands before heading to Abuja for a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari.
“I joined the #ENDSARS protesters in Alausa and received a letter of their demands and once again I reiterated my support. I am now on my way to Abuja to meet with H.E Pres. @MBuhari and the goal of the conversation is clear. Tangible next steps to #EndPoliceBrutality,” he tweeted.
The governor has set up a trust fund to compensate the families of police brutality in Lagos.
Sanwo-Olu said the trust fund will be supervised by a team appointed transparently by members of the public.
Meanwhile, Buhari spoke on Monday for the first time about the protests which have lasted days, assuring that there would be reforms in the police.
