Let us do a quick recap of #EndSARS events, so thought controllers don’t easily confuse us.

It was a peaceful protest. It remained peaceful till thugs began to be bussed to Abuja from a neighbouring state, openly directed by smartly dressed & vehicled coordinators who are...

...speculated to be linked to government.

We demand to know who those sponsors and directors are.

By Thursday the 15th October, this trend of thugs attacking peaceful protesters had reached Lagos, with the attack led by Adagun Osha in Alausa.

Till date no tangible effort has been made to arrest him. This is despite that a rough residential address has been provided.

By Sunday, 18th, there was already so much violence in different parts of Lagos. We can only presume this to be by agents provocateur.

The pattern was so clinically methodic.

It is also curious that there was a convenient security vacuum as the perpetrators had total free reign.

Questions need to be answered as to why this was allowed and there was no official response whatsoever.

By Monday morning, the thugs had fully taken over & coordinated large scale burning and looting began.

We need to ask, who were responsible for these targeted and coordinated mayhem.

We need to further ask when did the police give notice of a strike or work to rule,...

...that created the vacuum that was taken advantage of?

All this while, the #endsars protests continued in their peaceful style at designated places.

The protests had the character of street carnivals, so much so that some protesters attempted a reset & ‘focus’.

The afternoon of 20-10-20, Lagos govt ordered a tight-compliance-window-curfew, in response to the lawlessness.

Then the tragic black night.

Right from that very night, the protesters started appealing to their co-participants to get to safety & go home from off the streets.

This went on through the following day till when the coalition and other coordinators formally called a temporary end to the protest on the 23rd.

Then we must ask the question: how did the police magically decide to resume from their unofficial strike in response to the mayhem of the 19th onwards. And how did they mysteriously continue their strike after a few days of near anarchy.

Why were the NSCDC and the DSS who could have, to a relatively small extent, covered up for the lack of police presence, mysteriously and conveniently missing in action and not deployed.

So many questions, so few answers.

It might also be pertinent to ask, who burnt down the facilities at Lekki toll gate? The protesters who were live streaming under siege and doing vital first aid runs, or who exactly?

Maybe we should ask Lt. Col. Bello and his men.

If we can get an answer, we might also get an indication of who burnt lagos down. Certainly Generals Francis Omata and Musa Etsu-Ndagi and Lt. Col. S. O. Bello know a lot more.

I outline this timeline to give the cheap lie to efforts at laying the blame for the mayhem on the young women and men who volunteered for coordinating positions in the #EndSARS protests.

Their sense of civic responsibility is something to be proud of.

The kids have exercised their God given & constitutionally guaranteed rights to protest.

What a government does with that is its choice. The protesters couldn’t have self abridged their rights, to accommodate government incompetence. It doesn’t work like that.

This government, in its well known incompetence and lack of intelligence, disappointingly chose the lackadaisical response, while baring smelly crocodile fangs.

I have made these notes of the facts as I gleaned them from media coverage as a push back, no matter how feeble...

...against the gathering Interehamwe.

Let’s keep the narrative straight & avoid being swarmed by half truths & even blatant untruths.
