Senator Shehu Sani has called on President Bola Tinubu to pardon young protesters arrested and still languishing in various detention centres over the #EndSARS protest of 2020.
In 2020, some Nigerian youth had taken to the streets to protest police brutality and economic hardship.
While some of the arrested protesters were released, others are believed to continue being held up in various police stations.
While speaking at the Democracy Day Presidential Dinner held at the State House Conference Centre Abuja, Sani said those who took part in the protest should also be considered as champions of democracy.
According to Sani, he and others of his peer joined the fight to entrench democracy in Nigeria, having learnt to be dogged from President Tinubu.
Sani said the ENDSARS protesters had the same orientation of social justice struggle from him and Tinubu.
