One year after the National Economic Council chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo directed states to pay compensation to the victims of police brutality in the country, indications show that many states have yet to comply with the directive.
This is happening as activists said they will hold rallies to commemorate the second anniversary of the #endsars protests at the Lekki tollgate and other parts of the country today. but police in their reactions warned against violence during the protest.
Recall that the #endsars processions began as a peaceful protest by youths against the excesses and brutality of the disbanded police anti-robbery squad.
But the rallies took a violent turn after it was hijacked by thugs who attacked the protesters and police stations and also looted businesses on October 20, 2020.
