FILE - People hold banners as they protest against police brutality at Lekki Toll Plaza in Lagos, Nigeria on Oct. 15, 2020. Many Nigerians on Friday Oct. 20, 2023 remembered the victims of the historic protests against police brutality which took place three years ago, with Amnesty International reporting that at least 15 of the protesters are still being detained illegally.
In Lagos, a small group of people held a rally to demand justice for victims of police brutality. “Nobody is going to be happy when you are unjustly killing people, suffering them, oppressing them,” said Adebowale Adebayo, one of the organizers and a Nigerian actor popularly known as Mr. Macaroni.
“Three years in detention without trial is a travesty of justice. This shows the authorities’ contempt for due process of law. The protesters must be immediately and unconditionally released,” Sanusi added.
