A popular social media influencer and political commentator, Japheth Omojuwa, has thrown his weight behind the probe of the alleged Nigerian army’s shooting of #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki tollgate in Lagos on October 20, 2020 by International Criminal Court, ICC.
Recall Freelanews reported that the ICC has disclosed that it was conducting a preliminary investigation into the recent #EndSARS protests in Nigeria after receiving information on alleged crimes.
Omojuwa took to his Twitter handle in support of the move while insinuating that the Lagos State government can’t be a judge in its own case.
As they should! You can’t be a judge in your own case! #ENDSARS https://t.co/9Eyi1647K0

Thousands of Nigerian youths marched through the streets recently, demanding that a notorious police unit called SARS, or Special Anti-Robbery Squad, be dissolved over allegations of torturing and killing of citizens.
Despite President Muhammadu Buhari disbanding the group days after protests, the demonstrations continued. The protesters expanded their demands to include calls for police reforms and good governance.
