Nigerian youths protesting Police brutality on Tuesday turned the #EndSARS protest into carnival of sort.
The protesters, in their hundreds, took over the popular Olaiya junction, the heart of Osogbo in Osun state and mounted large speakers while a disc jockey was dazzling them with assorted songs.
He youths had assembled at Olaiya around 10am and barricaded all roads around. They denied motorists and motorcyclists access to the roads.
The protesters defiled rain and erected a canopy on the road for shelter.
Amid chants of #ENDSARSNOW, the protesters engaged themselves in a dancing competition for fun. This development attracted passersby who crowded the protest area to feed their eyes.
While the dancing and jubilation were ongoing, another group of youths stormed the scene and started chanting anti-government songs.
They called for a total reform of the Police Force and that the disbandment of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, should go beyond it’s announcement.
Their agitations brought commercial activities to their kneels as some shops shut down immediately the protesters stormed Olaiya.
