PHOTOS: How persons with disability defied the odds to protest against police brutality

While the youth trooped into the streets to protest against police brutality in Nigeria, people living with disability were not missing in action.

For two weeks that the #EndSARS protests rocked Lagos state where it began, they joined the agitation for a better country where the youth can live their dreams without fear or intimidation.

With their blazing placards, they marched with the crowd — fearless and unrelenting.

MANSUR IBRAHIM captures some moments with these special people who decided not to sit back, despite their conditions, while their contemporaries campaigned for a new Nigeria.

From Majid Lasisi, who hawks face masks and handkerchiefs in traffic, to Madam Kofo, who sells recharge cards at the Lagos state secretariat, they had a common message that inspired them to join the protest — even if some of them had not been directly affected by police brutality, their loved ones have been victims. Hence, the fight became a collective one.
