#EndSARS: One feared dead as #EndSARS protest turns violent in Surulere

Protest against police brutality, extortion and extra-judicial killings turned violent in the Surulere area of Lagos State on Monday.

Reports had it that police officers shot indiscriminately to disperse the protesters.

In the process, two of the protesters were reportedly hit by gunshots.

One of those hit by the gunshot has been reported dead.
