#JusticeForSmith: 4 Years After EndSARS: Youth K!lled By Police In Enugu Sparks National Outcry

Enugu is once again gripped by shock and anger following reports of a young man allegedly shot and killed by police.

A viral tweet by user AjeboDanny reignited calls for justice, describing the country as a “crime scene” where incidents of police brutality continue unchecked, despite the promises of reform in the wake of the EndSARS protests.

The victim was reportedly gunned down inside his car, as shared in a heart-wrenching video by user Mighty Mohammed on social media.

The post shows the lifeless body of the young man, sparking a wave of online outrage. Many have expressed frustration over the silence from the Enugu state police, who have yet to comment on the incident.

This tragedy comes four years after the EndSARS movement, which saw millions take to the streets to protest against police brutality, especially by the notorious Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).

Despite initial government promises for police reform, this latest killing has left many Nigerians questioning whether any real change has occurred.

As the story circulates, it adds to the growing pressure on authorities to address the ongoing abuse of power and implement true reforms within the Nigerian Police Force. Youths across the country are once again voicing their fears, with the sentiment that the future of the nation’s younger generation remains under threat from the very force meant to protect them.
