The Nigeria Youth Congress has condemned the attack on
#EndSARS protesters in Abuja and Lagos by suspected hoodlums.

The group stressed that violence was not an option at this
critical point as assertion of counter force to pro-SARS individuals will not
bring the tenets of democratic values in order.

will solve the problems in the police for the betterment of Nigeria and as such
task youths to remain calm in the current storms,
“We hereby call on President Muhammadu Buhari and Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, to urgently commence investigation into the incidents occasioned by attacks of innocent protesters in Abuja and Lagos to further foster the confidence of Nigerians on his administration,” the group said.
