Another #EndSARS Protester Who Appeared Before Panel Receives Death Threat

An #EndSARS protester simply named Dabira Adeyinka, has received a death threat following her appearance before the Lagos State Judicial Panel on Restitution for Victims of SARS Related Abuses and Other Matters.

Naija News reports that Adeyinka was amongst the peaceful protesters who were attacked by the Nigerian Army and other security agencies at the Lekki tollgate on October 20, 2020.

Adeyinka had earlier taken another survivor, Kamsi Ibeh, who testified before the judicial panel to the hospital after she was attacked by some hoodlums last night around Lekki.

Speaking to Vanguard on Monday, Adeyinka said she received the death threat when Kamsi was rushed to the hospital.

She said: “Kamsi was butchered. Her bones were showing. As soon as the doctor finished with her, we came outside.

“One of us saw an envelope on the car. When we opened it, we saw a paper with my image without the head. Then they wrote ‘You’re next Game on’.

“It was an image of me at the Lagos panel when I went to give my testimony. Right now, we’re trying to stay safe. I have only spoken with my lawyer.

Asked if she had reported at a police station, she said: “Which policeman will smile at me? I don’t trust them. Meanwhile, all we are asking for is for the government to care for the people. That’s all.
