Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Tuesday in Abuja presented the demands of #ENDSARS protesters to President Muhammadu Buhari and the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu.
While Sanwo-Olu met with the Presient at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, the meeting with the IGP took place at the Police Headquarters in Abuja.
The #ENDSARS protesters are seeking reforms that will bring about positive changes and new orientation among officers of the Nigeria Police force.
The reforms are part of the five-point demands of the #EndSARS protesters, who are currently campaigning to end all forms of brutality and extra judicial killings by some operatives of the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
Presenting the demands of the protesters officially to Buhari, the governor said, “They (protesters) said we should release all the protesters and we have released them.
“They said we should set up a Trust Fund to pay compensation to the families of those who have died. I have set up my own Trust Fund today and I have announced it.
“The third one, they said we should set up like a small enquiry for people that are bitter. So, tomorrow the IGP is coming to Governors’ Forum and he is going to ask each one of us to set up a five-man team.

“The final one is that we should increase the salary of the Police. The IGP said he is working on that. The IGP said he is going to be working to take some of them through psycho-social treatment.
“They would go to Force Hospital where they will go through a thorough medical evaluation. The ones that can still be absorbed; they will. Everything is working well.”
Buhari commended Sanwo-Olu for working hard. “Thank you so much for working so hard,” the President said.
