Nigerians are adamant on proving to the government that they are no pushovers and they won’t be cowed by threats from the Nigerian police.
After #EndSARS trended sufficiently on Twitter to catch the attention of the police, Jimoh Moshood, the Police Public Relations Officer, appeared on Channels TV accusing Jega Awosanya Segun (@segalink) who started the petition to #EndSARS, of being sponsored by politicians.
“The owner of the hashtag is being investigated. It is quite unfortunate, I’m not mentioning any name but this same Jega Awosanya Segun is the owner of the hashtag and we have seen his picture with various crop of politicians and we are investigating that for Nigerians to know the reason why,” Moshood said.
As you can see from the above statement, the Nigerian Police is brilliant at jumping to ignorant conclusions; for them, 2+2 = 122.
