How I was attacked by SSS officers — Activist Yemi Ademolekun

Yemi Adamolekun, a Nigerian activist, narrated to Premium Times Newspapers how she was attacked by officers of the State Security Service while taking part in a protest for the release of Yele Sowore.

Ms Adamolekun, director of Enough Is Enough Nigeria, said she was filming the beating of two journalists by SSS operatives when she was violently attacked and her phone smashed, leaving her effectively “phoneless”. The journalists were of The Guardian and Galaxy Television.

The activist said SSS operatives opened live rounds on the protesters, with bullets flying “above people’s heads.”
