Many Nigerians still chose to go out to the #EndSARSMemorial despite the knowledge that we will be harassed and arrested.

That is what they are afraid of.
The fact that we choose to defy oppression!
The fact that we demand a better country regardless of whatever they do to us.
The bullets, the blood and tears. We will NEVER forget. #EndSARSMemorial pic.twitter.com/RiRgMFu6Xq

All we asked for was safety but they gave us war and took away our brothers and sisters.

People were killed because they asked to be protected, they asked for the killings to stop and for justice to be served.

On this day LAST YEAR in Abuja, the protesters approached a traffic warden & he was trying to run. They stopped him & told him they recognized their good works, & gave him drinks, food & fruits. After they left, he bent down and shed some tears. RT!#EndSARSMemorial pic.twitter.com/SoDPLooxJ6

20 – 10 – 20. The day we gave them peace and they gave us war, the day we came with life and left with death. We shall never forget the souls we lost, the murders committed, the misuse of power. #EndSARSMemorial #EndSARS #EndPoliceBrutality
