nigeria. we'll look, i'll be in southport test called for a stop to police harassment. in our streets debate it is the man you talk to the victims and authorities and which is the straight to find out how young people relate to the pony today. mm hm. well i will let you go again. it's one of the major. what were your major dial out to fraud says it is a specialized robbery squad. sorry for short. it's all the way and gave him a dead mission to carry the agents shooting out to protest that many get injured and some even died. all those events where streamed on his background by a popular niger and did you call me, do i clearly remember that night? and before i felt as i watched the events oh, hold on is that?

well, you could hear the sporadic going on people out for help. i think we'll let them you might be wondering what led to the shipping and how things escalate that so quickly? did i be a report? asha la, break it down for us in this report. on the night of october $22020.00. my june police brutally gone down. young protestors who had come together to form one of the biggest youth movement in the country's history. just hours before the killings, thousands had gathered to peacefully demonstrate it, gave rise in cases of police brutality. i know that their protests were largely peaceful because i was their report. but that evening, the protest songs illegals would turn into christ for health and the same place where people called for their rights to be upheld would be the same place. they were killed. it all started on a 3rd of october, policemen from the special anti world we scored you need better known as sars, allegedly killed a young man in southern delta state and took away his scar as

a video of the deadly assault online. hundreds of young people took the social media event and share their own soft experiences, all of which were bad. saw initially form in 1992 to tackle armed robbery in the country. well, the units grew into in notorious for the popular for stuart, in an abusing young nigerians. my server, 8th, the online anger against science had gone so much that is built into the st. nationwide. illegal protested mounted road blocks and shut down traffic. thousands got it. and the lucky toll gave a major highway in the area of the city. this would come to be the main demonstration for their demands was simple. they wanted size band that officials prosecuted and for the victims to be compensated where they were also advocated for the officials themselves. they wanted them to be mentally evaluated, and for the salaries to be increase,

so that he would have fewer raises to extort. on the 11th, as the process gave momentum, the nigerian police finally scraps thought deficient robberies court of denied europe police, otherwise known that size is dissolved, but people were buying it. this was the 1st time the police was claiming to reform stars. by then, the demonstrations had become more of a movement anyways, and people were demanding not just for police reforms before better governance point animal. and it will be very polite. on monday, the 19th legos go no budget is lou from a traditional panel to look into saw the abuses. well, the process continues still and save for some cases of police crackdowns. there were laws lead to school. although criminal elements has started to infiltrate. as thousands of protesters got it again lucky target on tuesday, october 20th. they noted the things with different people told me that they saw

toll gave staff. we move in ccb cameras installed in the area, and that as evening fell, the street lights wouldn't come on, leaving the place completely dark at around 4 pm. glove notion will lose imposed a curfew, tried to instill order, but many poor testers at the toll gate remained there. then, at around 7 mental, the nigerian army rolling on several vans. i started to think of the demonstrators who could not talk to the eye. witnesses told me, they counted several bodies that night taken away by the army. but he wasn't over as one of the killers travelled. angry mob through the streets, looting shops, burning buildings, and attacking policemen. 12 people died according to amnesty international, and many more were injured. the nigerian government has set up judicial panels to look into police violence but denies the killings of october 20th if i was dull. so keep looking for justice. it was

a beginning because i need to fight for it for kids because i needed to mature. and south was indeed just the beginning of our 2020 spark a new wave of national consciousness in many nigerians. and we are seeing this play out as next year's presidential election draws closer. there is a high level of youth engagement with school candidates on proxy process. and while i'm also be home at home on channel for young people to be call and make their voices heard. unfortunately, in many cases we are still met with the police are strictly b. it is kimani met with a group of nigeria to discuss the leki killing and how to prevent such an event from happening again. with hello and welcome back to the 77 percent

this week or we are in nigeria. more specifically, lagos, the city that gave us fell equity, who, by the way, in 1977 in his title track for the album, them give us them leave tears, sorrow, and blood explained how the police officers were at that time. brutalizing, the citizens of nigeria fast forward to 2020 and his words still resonated as young people gathered to protest what they said was ill treatment by the police officers until we're here to find out why do african government seems so threatened by protest held by the youth who better to answer this question for me than fellow nigerians. and i'm going to start our with vi. and so i just want you to give us an overview of what happened in 2020 because not everybody has a key idea. so these agree began with some a lot of discontent and unhappiness and rage against specialized robbery squad of the niger and police. and youth just felt like you know,

what enough is enough. and like that's almost as if they were coordinated. protests were happening in major cities in the southern parts of the country, especially. okay, let's hear from suffer because i understand you are the protest as well. and obviously wouldn't be talking about these protest if they hadn't ended in unfortunately death. so how did it come to be that something that started organically and at, in bloodshed? i think one of the selling points i'll call it out of the answers. protest was that there was no coordinated leadership. people just appointed themselves to, you know, coordinate, collect, and distribute resources. there was a lot of heavy pullet to size and like in the f city where some of the boys who disrupted the protest, testified that they were given 500 nero or so. you could easily by st. power. yeah . by any one. okay. let me hear from matthew aka precious stone. oh,

who was not only at the protest but unfortunately actually ended up being shot. so perhaps that by telling us what took you to the protest, why did you feel that he was so important for your voice to be heard that day? many times files are stored me on it. why do you do your ladies as i'm no, i'm no you. oh boy, god oblivion and you know where you live fi or where you to enjoy your bad boy. oh boy, i'm no one of them. but when a hardy to dot ha people, when you turn in, julia will godaddy let top this sucks to clean or finish it is of this country. so i need to john de porter. yes. fully. can you explain to me how you felt when you got there? what was the energy like, how did you feel in the early hours jack missouri was so lovely, but i never believed. hadn't enjoyed. i use goof. cool. sure. sure. peacefully. yeah. get flagged in, in july flag uglies russia dizzy what we entitled to comma to, to sue, to speak, or what is not good about our country? what are near shore, right?

peaceful, lovely energy was firing. okay, let me come to an officer who day in here because obviously the police officers actually what the receiving end doing his protest being accused of not just brutalizing young people and harassing them. is this true? would you say in your estimation? yes, actually we have am saying reports of police officers been excessive in their use of force, but still it didn't mean that the entire police force was, was brutal or was insensitive to the plight of the youth. and these were things we're looking to. we have of departments on the follow up looks into this complex. well i guess people have had enough or they felt we're not moving fast enough. okay . um, i want to hear from allow me day because i see that your hair style is dread locked, which i understand in this country can be a way for people to be targeted. have you experience some of the things that p 2 p

peter was saying was obviously aroused by south of which has lot of time to try to that because should we not? we happen. i'm in the cloud or so i'll pico bye for now. do you and did i go over according to an arrow that the south in south buddhist is the from to not does god mean to join the discount cause i don't know. did go go outside that. i'll get shots because most of it i go up or as up by the s as with, as i see, does reduced to let her asthma doesn't as we do okay. that as it out about as a game, it blows muffled. you for the buddhist. cut out so long the pulls us are asked me because of my as part of what you put as when, if i go out, i'm going to push on out the country limit to we deliver. those are gender catalog . i'll get them out that do not the right to such my full mouth. glad to get my food gum, the young boy, the 1st of all you got as an internet for stuff you don't want to know what you're doing for. so for future outsourcing is up to stop, i will love him to join the buddhist. okay, now i should mention to of you was that of course, saas as

a squad was later disbanded. although young people here say that it was quickly replaced with a force that was very similar to that i, but coming back to you of a 1000 a and j. j. know your, he, i'm going to come back to you. i had reports while preparing for this, the people would even have their telephones checked to have police officers look through their bank account balance and have and force them to to withdraw money. is this true? yeah, i mean how, how, how does it get to that point? okay. yeah it's, it's very wrong for any police officer to check in with his foreign bank account. and we, we appreciate those people who just don't complain and just maybe make better maybe rounds on twitter, puzzling my language around on twitter. but people actually step forwards to say, oh, this police of science did this. we're actually want to gets such reports. and when we get them, we are bringing this officers and make them face on this, mary archer, what is actually wrong? and if i'm a say this, i'm not saying i'm not trying to defend these bad behavior. it's not in the face,

but you know, statistically, you see that most times certain crimes are committed by sutton is group and the often not always, but they often have this look, this statue. i'm been, i mean, yeah, you're, that's profiling profiling. yes. but for a police officer, what are we saying? nobody in nigeria should wear dreadlocks. like i said, from the beginning of this, these not a defense. but as a police officer, i remember the last 10 people that's confessed to this particular crime. actually have 14 in physical character is meily, not physical, but in this is you would not, you would not blame me if i say somebody which dos indices. and the 1st thing that comes to mind is, or the last propeller, is that okay, let me come to gigi because he's laughing at your comment. i'm not sure if it's because he thinks it's funny, ha, share your thoughts j. j. so i was laughing because was fits in perfectly into the bureau spectrum of via and he was literally admitting by us as

a police officer. no force of he says he's human was so the next level as the police officer and as a, as an institution is to 1st of all admitted up by us that they are by us to was go you for people like all i media and between them up on doing all of those things, but p t i want to hear from you despite the fact that the government admitted its fault and said we should have shot you, and you are given compensation, you still don't feel safe here. you just no compensation, notting since they want to partner one every to you does not. not upon our shot on my church, the blood ts come out from the back yet. so i know the kennel paid things that dinner as typical in the biblical house, factual, or my servant rape. i'm this kid who, what are you scared of? i'm scared of my life because d a just the angry god meant, asked the angry police just angry because you can't come out,

challenge them in the court of law. it will show crazy. let me come to office so who didn't care? because pete, he said very passionately, that police officers are still angry because the youth dead to challenge the authority they dare to stand up against you. or is this how you're feeling? honestly. i don't agree with him. that's police officers are angry because of answers. we know that the youth that started the zone protests were not violent . we acknowledge that. so the, the protests were our chrome hijacked by some hoodlums from colonel scott. i think you should use the right. i think. okay, to right. the process. whenever a jack, nobody i just to protect the protests was attacked. so who attacked these protest? the protest was at sacked using government owned properties, government's own efforts. so are you suggesting, sarah, that the people,

the young hoodlums, as the officer has called them here, who infiltrated the protest was sent by the government? this is a very serious claim. i am not suggesting i am saying you're saying it on the day on the 9th of the lucky master car, we were able to get about 21. people with the same shapes of i mean the same shipped of cut last like this much, etc. the same, they had the same tags and so it was like they were given to them. so we got about 20 to one of these people. i still have a, i mean must do all the videos we played at the panel. that was actually what made a panel to reach the decision. we took this people to the police and guess what? we're told that they are not their problem. all right, let's come back to the office a. i think it's important that you able to respond. i'm will look at the answers protest, but everybody turns a blind eye to the fact that many police sessions we attacked many police sessions response down. i don't know if you, if you are way back, many police officers were killed when police officers, we'd be headed to live and we many, many winejobs us where,

where are roasted and beating. these are facts. and i will tell you that when this process started, i will check on what they were fighting for men of us. we're happy because our welfare was part of it so, so, so some was behind the scene where given them this not like go ahead, we're going to benefit from okay. so how did it come to be that then? people who are armed by the government are opening fire on their own citizens who are, and i'm going to ask you if, if that statement is a statement or fox, will you tell me who else has fire arms in this country? who will police? oh, the every day yesterday their voice, the week of our firms room hoodlums. ok, and i'm wondering from you a p t. would you ever participate in a protest again, given what happened to you again and again and again and again, because i cannot ignore the tire i renewed as by dot, you can do it. sincerely speaking, we know that the, our web,

our comments are crazy. so we do need to be crazy, so we need to be created by print out or so lot. also do the necessities being good . now a butare card rule to do all those things is not by se not by. okay. look at it already bought car. we got just is it do or what new did true to oh ok. jail let's hear for me is good to hope that i mean hope is free is good to hold that against be a different game. there are electrons immediately offer and sauce. and the thought i was on louis irvine, the history of the country, does that surprise you though? it doesn't, it doesn't. and we have to say things the way they are right now. there is nothing to say that the voting dynamics of nigeria in terms of voter turnout in other because if you could have a vote on or the opportunity of woodson would change with the lessons that are coming in less than a year. and i want to come back to you office on monday and because what can we do so that the next time yon nigeria, which will inevitably happen, come together to protest something. they're not met by bullets. well and says was

a linen process for everyone. if we know you're going to protest, we have to put certain measures in place to make sure it's not. i checked glass on, i said i checked there, we're talking okay, at sac. okay. so that was good measures in place to make sure that there is no at sac and am going forward. like you said, inevitably process is going to happen again. but we hope we have lens. we hope that it will become floating next time. ok, sarah, i want to hear from you solutions going forward because like i said, inevitable protests will happen here. every single person in danger, once a better name. here, the government needs to understand that you need to constantly talk to these people . you need to consulting, talk to people so that you can what their grievances, ah, and how to meet them into mito. okay. i'd like to hear from you allow me day in the future. what do you think young people need to do to make the conversation easier? between government and yourselves, police officers and yourselves do do what mega we are use shuttle to try to get

into paula. i mean it's really $70000.00 to be also for writ of him. does it dr. wood also does causing widows were play for future drugs in don't back out and goldfish jewelry shouted, glancing on online and also put as religion gets involved in politics. an idea here in northeast north, we cannot quote you ladies of j. j. i started by quoting fellow equity, the great master of music, and the things that he was singing about in his album of 1977, a still very much resonating today. how do we stop that cycle? first of all is to set up requests for a better society, easy, never end in one, and that's not unique to nigeria. it's universal. democracies like the americans, as old as to 50 years old on overdue, continue to butler for these freedom. so it's not a question of how do we talk to him? it's a question of how do we make lives better every year? why we started, we q left conclude with you. what do you see for the future of this country, posts and saws? brutus, i think understanding that we form as youth

a critical mass that can really move his needle forward, is something that we need to take very seriously. i mean, we formed like 60 percent of bacteria, the best we could do is get our pvcs more work. you put in a better change, you will see. all right, well, that's a fantastic place to wrap up this debate. the sun is going down. it's so beautiful here and actually feel really good in my heart, which so rarely happens at the end of debates. but that's because the young people here i asked, i'll protest, threatening to governments perhaps. but what i've had to day resoundingly is that the youth, they know go tire. thank you for watching. ah, we be you, we know what ever tire meaning we the youth will never be tired and just to show how relevant these events are still today. we got quite a number of reactions on social media where we previously ad be debates annisa gram . lemme well road i don't have dreds or tattoos,

but i still got grabbed my police officer for not carrying my laptop. it's with me . what are we charge says the police man is actually not wrong. but the problem is, after questioning the oppression why extort money from them. thank you all for your comments. unfortunately, i can't read all of them out, but we want to find out more about the relationship young. my jo ann's today. 2 years after n size have with my colleague or lisa he, the streets of me got to find out and work on since the end sounds movement back in october 2020 a lot has been said about have been better police in nigeria. but 2 years later, the question to ask is, how are policing on indeed police relations been with us. citizens of nigeria, isis improved from the kind of situations that spike and such protests all as had gotten worse. i am here at georgia. goodbye. got area of lagos and i'll be going

around the streets to ask people what they think it was like in south never harpoon like the entire portez on. or doug, maybe did you see like a cognizance of, you know, like a cognizance effect on those people because some of them are variable. trump, a brutal was scrutinizes. these people who keep them in check who your reports do. if there is anything, if anything goes wrong with your interaction with the police, the police or your friend and our friend, my guy, are not your friend. well, it has improved in a says on this stopped the whole scope. i started and i ross, in a sense like social media has a huge party documenting police interactions in my gera and these days, even to police sometimes cause situations where they get harassed themselves.

almost every one carries a mobile phone. and sometimes it is used to record reduce that can serve as evident many young people also accused to police of negative profiling solely on the basis of the i looks an experience at a lateral to me. kalu knows quite well. they do it every day. i go out every day i decide to hunger on my community, see my food day says chew my friends or wherever i find myself. yeah. get profound every day, every day of my life and it doesn't stop in the it seems like is never going to end . i mean, course i, we're dread log, so i have thought to day, this doesn't define me. my parents do not define situations involve in police profile and can sometimes become unpredictable leading to violence or assaults or loads him. he says he has also been held at gunpoint by

a police officer. why i don't know why i should be acting. the police why? i should be locked in my community why? why should be poor that going to live rifle to my he strip searched our trophy because i'm coming back from walk. i should the oxy, my society why i should be back in the police. what issues like these when it comes to the police that make up everyday life in nigeria? also most striking rarely sense when i drop police force do that. it's been bolt for bribery and corruption on this wrong people to nigeria and psyche across generations. young. oh, thank you lisa and all of you who shared your thoughts and experiences with us. feel free to comment on youtube, instagram, facebook, all right to was at 77 at d, w dot com. we have one last piece for you today in music video by dan dan,
