#EndSARS protest in Abuja is fake news – Police

The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has described as fake news a video circulating on social media alleging that #EndSARS protest was held in Abuja on Friday.

The viral video shows heavy traffic on an expressway, with a person saying the Dantata Bridge in Abuja has been blocked by youths protesting.

“We have said we are going to lock down this place. I said it in the morning, you guys thought I was joking. Here I am. Today being my birthday, I’m so happy to be here. This is the best birthday party I’ve ever had. Honestly, I’m catching my groove, the party is yet to start.

“Let them come and kill the whole youths. Nigeria will have to be better at all cost, whatever it takes. Let them feel the heat. They never believed Abuja could be blocked like this,” the person said.

Reacting to the video, the FCT Police Command said no protest was held, adding that the video is from the #EndSARS protest in Abuja last year.

“FAKE NEWS! The Attention of the FCT Police Command has been drawn to a viral video of End SARS protesters in the FCT. We hereby state that nothing of such happened as the video itself is an old video of the previous End SARS protest,” the Command tweeted.
