#EndSARS Protesters Hold Jummat Prayers On Protest Ground In Abuja, Lagos

The #EndSARS protest in Abuja and Lagos took another twist as Muslim youths observed their Jummat prayers at the protest ground on Friday.

This comes 24 hours after the Federal Capital Territory Security Committee directed that all street demonstrations, protests, and processions will not be allowed anywhere within its environs henceforth.

According to a statement by the Chief Press Secretary, Anthony Ogunleye, on Thursday, the development became necessary due to the dangers posed by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Muslim protesters in Lagos also did the same as they held their Jummat prayers at the protest ground near the House of Assembly Drive, Alausa.
