#EndSARS : agony of a lucky victim

My name is Ebosele Collins born on the 22nd day of July, 1984 at Uromi, Edo State of Nigeria. I left my home Town Uromi to Lagos on the 11th of May, 2018 to live with my uncle Mr. Augustine in search of greener pastures.

While in Lagos, I worked as a bus driver to earn a living. I was among the Youth who was angry with the activities of the SARS killing dozens of citizens they were supposed to protect, so I joined the protests, I drove to the venue, with my uncle and his two children it was a peaceful protest before we knew it gunmen open fire at the Lekki toll gate my uncle and the two children were killed I was short at my right leg, i managed to escape for my dear life it was a terrible experience.

 I had to return back to my Village on the 11th of December, 2020. I was in the village when a friend called me from Lagos that he saw my photograph among the youth that led the End SARS protest. That the Government Authority is after me, at this time I had to relocate to Abuja to meet my cousin, Joseph, who immediately advice me to apply for a visa and leave the country as its no longer safe for me to remain in the Country, Nigeria so I secured a visa and travelled to Europe on 14h day of August 2023 for Safety.
