“Please indicate your interest to join the suit by stating your names.

SERAP tweeted, “BREAKING: We’re suing the Buhari administration to compel it to immediately arrest the soldiers and police responsible for the shooting of #EndSARS protesters at Lekki-Toll Gate and pay reparations to victims.

“We’re filing the suit first thing tomorrow morning; so please indicate your interest.
