The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of Nigeria, Pastor E.A Adeboye has condemned the shooting of #EndSARS protesters in Lekki on Tuesday night.
In a statement on Wednesday, Pastor Adeboye said that the actions of the military would only make the situation unmanageable while driving the agitation of the young people underground.
“I condemn in the strongest possible terms, attacks launched by the Nigerian military on unarmed young people, who have been peacefully protesting police brutality over the last 12 days as #EndSARS protests.

“The condemnable actions of the military risks driving the agitations of the young people underground, thereby making the situation unmanageable.
“I call on the Federal Government to thoroughly investigate the tragic events at Lekki and other parts of the country, give justice to all victims even as it engages the #EndSARS protesters to reach a common agreement to end police brutality.
“I am also appealing to the Youths to allow peace reign & stop any form of action that would give the Military any other form of excuse to attack. May the peace of God come upon our nation, now more than ever in Jesus name.”
