Kamani is in lagos, to talk to victims authorities about the aftermath of the n soft protest. In kenya, we meet in landscape s, concluding the streets of nairobi and a my city. We explored their hats beats, all the republic of that hole ross with. Lets start off in nigeria. Im sure you remember the special anti robbery squat sauce for short. Well, citizens accused them of police brutality. This led to the hashtag and south protest, which called for the unit to be dissolved. Sauce has since been disbanded, but no Police Offices have been charged. Then i genuine government still denies killing demos street tests in lagos, even to a Judicial Panel found otherwise. D w report. Tasha la wall reconstructs what led to the dead least and off the lucky toll gate. From the night there was 22029 june. Police literally gone down, young protested. What come together to form one of the biggest Youth Movement in the countrys history . Just hours before the killings, thousands had got to peacefully demonstrate a gave rise in cases of police brutality. I know that the protests were largely peaceful because i was there reported. 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 the 3rd of october, policemen from the special anti robbery squad. You need better known as far as allegedly killed a young man in southern delta state and took away his scar as a video of the deadly assault looked online. Hundreds of young people took the social media event and share their own saw experiences, all of which were bad. Saw initially form in 1992 to tackle Armed Robbery in the country. But the units grew into in notorious for popular for a stuart in an abusing young nigerians. My, its my 8th, the online anger against size had gone so much that is built into the st. Nationwide. Illegal protesters mounted roadblocks and shut down traffic. Thousands got it, and the lucky toll gate in middle highway in the area of the city, this would come to be the main demonstration point. Their demands were simple, they wanted size band that officials prosecuted and for the victims to be compensated well, they were also advocated for the officials themselves. They wanted them to be mentally evaluated, and for the salaries to be increased, so that youd have fewer raises to extort. On the 11th, as the process gain momentum, the Nigerian Police finally scraps thought deficient robberies quote of denied Europe Police otherwise known the size of a desert. But people were buying it. This was the 1st time the police was claiming to reform size. By then, the demonstrations had become more of a movement anyways, and people were demanding not just a Police Reform before better governance put animal animal economy. On monday, the 19th legos gum, nobody will knew from introduce the panel to look into saw abuses. But the process continues still and seek for some cases of police crackdowns. There were laws lead fiscal, although criminal elements has taught to infiltrate. As thousands of protesters got it again, lucky to get on tuesday, october 20th. They noted the things with different people told me that they thought toll gave staff. We move in ccb cameras installed in the area, and that as evening fell, the street lights wouldnt 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 metal denija, an army holding on several vans and thought to the own, am demonstrators who could not talk to people. Eye witnesses told me, they counted several buddies that night taken away by the army. But it wasnt over as one of the killers traveled. Angry mobs 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 survivors. Dont fiddle. Keep looking for justice. Details if you can, because i need to fight a fight for my kids because i need to be an engineer. And its not just him mean in adrians. Once he better i area and prepared to push for positive change before protest is one way. But in many cases, they are met with police brutality. So why on many african governments seemingly threatened by youth demonstrations, fostering debate, either tamani mat with some like terence and legacy to discuss the lucky killings and how to prevent it from ever happening again. Ah hello and welcome back to the 77 percent. This week we are in nigeria. More specifically, lagos, the city that gave us fella equity, who, by the way, in 1977 in his title track for the album, them give us them leave tears, sorrow, and blood explained to 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 were 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 im going to start out with by and so i just want you to give us an overview of what happened in 2020 because not everybody has a clear idea. So i basically began with a lot of discontent and on happiness and rage against the special ed robbery, squad of the measuring police. And youth just felt like you know, what enough is enough. And like thats almost as if they were coordinated. Protests were happening in major cities in the southern parts of the country, especially. Okay, lets hear from suffer because i understand you are the protest as well. And obviously we wouldnt be talking about these protest if they hadnt ended in unfortunately death. So how did it come to be that something that started organically and in bloodshed . I think one of the selling points alcala, that of the answers protest was that there was no one meter 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 5 and an error or so you could easily by street power. Yeah. By anyone. Ok. 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 it was so important for your voice to be heard that day . Many times fast asked, told me on it. Why do you do your ladies as im no, im no, your boy got the oblivion and you know where you live fi or where you to enjoy your bod board or your boss . Im no one of them. But when a hardy to that are people, when you turn in junior, will godaddy left top, this sucks to clean offense. It is of this country. So i need to john to protect despite the fact that the government admitted its fault and said, we should have shot you. And you were given compensation, you still dont feel safe for her. You just no compensation, notting since they wanted to partner. I want every to you does not, not upon our chart on my church, the blood p. S. M are from the back yet. So i know can obeyed things that dinner as typical in the political help structure on my segment. Rip, im this kid who, what are you scared of . Im scared all my life because they adjusted angry. God meant asked the angry police. Youre still angry because we cant come out. Challenge them in a court of law. It was crazy. Let me come to an officer who day in here 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. And is this how youre feeling . Honestly. I dont agree with him thats Police Officers are angry because of answers. We knew that the youth started the zone process when at rollins were college got. So it will be the process where our current, hijacked, by some hoodlums from colonels or i think you should use the right, i think. Okay, the right word, the process. Whenever a jack, nobody i just to protect the protests was attacked. So who attacked these brutus . The process was at sacked using government owned properties, governments own assets. 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 . I am there, i am his claim. I am not suggesting i am saying youre saying it on the day on the 9th of the lackey massacre, we were able to get about 21. People with the same shapes of and the same shift of what last like this, mash, etc, the same. They had the same tags and eats. So it was like they were given to them. So we got about 20 to one of these people. I still have, i, i mean, most did all the videos we played at the panel. That was actually what made a panel to which the decision. We took this people to the police and guess what . Were told that they are not their problem. All right, lets come back to the office they. I think its important that you are able to arm on. Im will look out the answers protest, but everybody turns a blind eye to the fact that many Police Sessions were attacked. Many Police Sessions were bumped down. I dont know if you, if you are way back, many Police Officers were killed when Police Officers will be had they do this and many and many Police Officers where, where are roasted on getting these are facts. And i will tell you that when this process started and we checked what they were fighting for men of us were happy because our welfare was part of it so, so, so some was behind the scene where given them this month, like go ahead, were 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 am 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 were o l. B every day yesterday, the boys the week of affirms room hoodlums. So im wondering from you a p t. Would you ever participate in a protest again, given what happens again and again and again again and again, go noted moody. I will no doubt by that you can do it. Sincerely speaking, we know that our web, our government are crazy. So we do need to be crazy, so we need to be created by bring doctors who lot also do the necessity being good. Now, a butare cod rule to you. All those things is not by shouting. Hes got by book you look at it. Yeah. Right. But how we got just is it do or ward knew the truth. Ok, jail lets hear for me is good to hope that. I mean hope is free is good to hope that is going to be a different game. There are electrons immediately after and sauce, and the phone i was one of louis irvine, the history of the country. Does that surprise you though . It doesnt, it doesnt, and we have to say things the way they are right now. There is nothing to say daddy voting dynamics of nigeria in terms of voter turnout in other because if you could have a vote on all the opportunities of woodson would change with the lessons that are coming in less than a year. Yeah. And i want to come back to you of his own day and because what can we do so that the next time young nigerians which will inevitably happen, come together to protest something. Theyre not met by bullets. Well, and says was a learning process for everyone. If we know youre going to protest, we have to put certain measures in place to make sure its not. I checked glass on i said i checked everybody attacking okay at sac. Okay. So that was good. My years in place to make sure that there is no attack. And im 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. Okay, sarah, i want to hear from you Solutions Going forward because like i said, inevitable protests will happen. Yeah. Every Single Person in danger, once a better night, 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 was their grievances, ah, and how to meet them in the middle. Okay. Why would it be q less 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 the 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, thats a fantastic place to wrap up this debate. The sun is going down. Its so beautiful here and actually feel really good in my heart, which so rarely happens at the end of debates. But thats because the young people here i asked, ill protest, threatening to governments perhaps. But what ive had to date resoundingly is that they use their no good tire. Thank you for watching. Ah, the you never good tire. Meaning the youth will never be tied up for a longer version of this particular debates. Go to are you to page to also check us out on instagram on facebook. Governments should realize that do tally t never solves anything, and its hardly discourages young people from demanding posits of change. Gumby unwrapped michaela is agrees with me.

Theyve bought a truck instead of good afternoon and just and mr. O for. So why do you choose dakota was rid the cause we fight you for is for all of was mr. President came to see that is good.
