“#EndSARS movement has brought joy to me” – Ooni of Ife writes as he narrates “nasty” experience his “daughter” had with SARS

Nigerian monarch, The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi has praised Nigerian youths for finally waking up and speaking with one voice.

He said the End SARS movement gives him “nothing but joy” and he went on to narrate a “nasty” experience his “daughter” had with SARS officials.

He also addressed police officers, asking them not to harass protesters because the protest is also for their own good.

He wrote:

The #ENDSARS movement has brought nothing but joy to me. Finally, the youths are awake, with one voice and a common goal.

I understand your plight, my 25-year-old daughter had a nasty experience with SARS, almost losing her life. On her way to the airport, she was stopped and terribly ransacked and surrounded by fully armed plainclothes policemen in a bus, detained for close to 30mins of thorough questioning. Imagine a young female for that matter, all her belongings completely searched all because she was with a laptop on an official assignment from her office in Lagos. I can only imagine the countless ones that have lost their lives from such ordeals, may their souls rest in peace.
