The Human Rights Watch has lamented the failure of the Federal Government to hold accountable security operatives who brutalized and killed #EndSARS protesters in October last year.

The international human rights group said the victims are still awaiting justice a year after security forces violently suppressed protests calling for an end to police brutality in Nigeria.

Scores of young Nigerians were arrested and also killed during the nationwide protests which demanded an end to police brutality and called for police reforms.

The attack on the protesters climaxed on October 20, 2020 when troops allegedly fired five shots at the youths at the Lekki tollgate, Lagos, killing some and injuring many others.

Many states consequently set up probe panels but their reports have not been implemented while the Lagos panel had yet to submit its report.
