Six Years After: Police Harassment, Unkept Promises Rob #EndSARS Protest of Closure

- On Tuesday, October 20, 2026, Democratic Congress presidential candidate Peter Obi commemorated the sixth anniversary of the Lekki Toll Gate shootings, calling for justice, accountability, and respect for human rights.
- The Lekki Toll Gate incident on October 20, 2020, remains a defining symbol of broken trust between citizens and the state, with unresolved questions about the use of force against protesters continuing to cast a shadow over the government's response.
- RULAAC accused the Nigerian police of sustaining a culture of impunity six years after #EndSARS, describing the implementation of reform recommendations as "fragmented, opaque and inadequate."
- Coroner findings identified serious misconduct in the May 2025 death of 32-year-old Japheth Njoku at Tiger Base, prompting RULAAC to urge prosecution of two police officers for extortion and torture.
- Reaffirming his belief in a "New Nigeria," Obi insisted the nation must become a place where citizens are protected rather than brutalized, with government power exercised responsibly and justly.
