The attack on the #EndSARS protesters in its wake, left “several” protesters dead and others injured according to videos published on Twitter by eyewitnesses.
Hours after the attack, President Muhammadu Buhari is currently presiding over the National Security Council Meeting at the Council Chambers, the State House in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
GoldenNewsNg understands that Buhari’s meeting with Service Chiefs might be unconnected to the violence that has marred the #EndSARS protest in some parts of the country.
