President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, says the National Assembly will ensure that the five demands made to the Executive by EndSARS protesters are implemented.
Lawan gave the assurance yesterday at plenary after the Senate was briefed by the Senate Leader, Yahaya Abdullahi (APC – Kebbi North) on the intervention by the leadership to wade into the matter.
Giving details of the meeting between the Senate delegation and the protesters, Abdullahi said, “We met with a view to pacifying the protesters and also extending our commiseration with them over what happened.
“They explained that in the course of their peaceful demonstration, they were accosted by some hoodlums, who they alleged were directed by the police to attack them; and how they were able to weather the storm and assemble at the National Assembly to inform us of their travails.
“We sympathised with them and received the oral complaints that they wanted to present to the National Assembly.
“They complained of damage to their vehicles, and some physical injuries that some of them sustained. Fortunately, there were no major injuries or even violent death.
“We implored them to submit a catalogue of their complaints and the damages or injuries that were inflicted upon them, so that these can be conveyed to the appropriate authorities for interventions,” Lawan said.
