#EndSARS: How I Lost My Driver to Abuja Protest –Keyamo Laments
Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, SAN, has narrated how his drivers died as a result of the #EndSARS protest in Abuja on Wednesday.
The human right activist lamented that the driver, Mr. Yohanna Shankuk, was hit by a vehicle around the Berger area of Abuja.
According to the minister, the driver died as a result of the protest by youths against police brutality and extortion in the country.
He made this known via his Twitter handle on Thursday.
He tweeted: “I regret to announce that my driver, Mr. Yohanna Shankuk, died yesterday in Abuja as a result of the protests.
“A vehicle that saw advancing protesters at Berger roundabout, made a U-turn, took the one-way back and ran over him as he was making his way on foot to my private office.”
The minister earlier alleged that the ongoing #EndSARS protest rocking the country is becoming a mob action.
According to him, some criminal elements have mixed with genuine protesters to unleash terror on citizens and members of the Nigeria Police Force.
