BREAKING: #EndSARS: Adeboye Blames Police For Not Arresting Hoodlums Who Hijacked Protests

–Condemns Attacks By Military, Begs Youths Not To Retaliate

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has faulted the Nigeria Police Force for not arresting hoodlums who resorted to violence to disrupt the peaceful #EndSARS protests.

Adeboye, on Wednesday, also condemned the military for the reported attacks on the protesters, especially in the Lekki Tollgate area of Lagos.

He also called on the federal government to bring the culprits to book while addressing the yearnings of the protesters.

Also, he urged the youths to remain calm and not take laws into their hands

The full statement reads:

“I condemn in the strongest possible terms, attacks launched by the Nigerian military on unarmed young people, who have been peacefully protesting police brutality over the last 12 days as #EndSARS protests.

“I am confounded that prior to the sad events at the #LekkiTollGate, the Nigerian Police failed to arrest the weapon-bearing hoodlums who were attacking the well-organized and non-violent #EndSARS protesters.

“The condemnable actions of the military risks driving the agitations of the young people underground, thereby making the situation unmanageable.

“I call on the Federal Government to thoroughly investigate the tragic events at Lekki and other parts of the country, give justice to all victims even as it engages the EndSARS protesters to reach a common agreement to end police brutality.

“I am also appealing to the Youths to allow peace reign and stop any form of action that would give the Military any other form of excuse to attack.

“May the peace of God come upon our nation, now more than ever in JESUS name (Amen)

E.A. Adeboye”
