Nigerian senate president, Ahmed Ibrahim Lawan has enjoined Nigerians youth to put an end to the #EndSARS protest, as the infamous police unit has been disbanded.
Speaking during plenary on Tuesday morning October 13, Lawan stated,
“The protest has yielded the desired result so far and there won’t be need to continue the protest again when SARS has been disbanded and those culprits who are involved in the killings should be brought to book”.

Abdulfatai had moved a motion to seek the leave of the Senate to present a motion on the death of a member of his constituency, Jimoh Isiaka, and attack on the Palace of Soun of Ogbomoso.
