Abstract

This study examines the factors responsible for the outbreak of the #EndSARS protest in Lagos, Nigeria. Relying on primary sources of data (questionnaires and Focus Group Discussions), correlation, regression and content analysis were employed to establish (i) relationship between human rights violations and protest outbreak; (ii) relationship between repressive response of government to protest and protest transformation from peaceful to violent one as well as manifestation of criminality. The results show that there exist a strong positive relationship between human rights violations and protest outbreak and between repressive response of state’s security agencies and protest transformation.
