Some of them were reportedly arrested and manhandled by the officers.

Popular activist and good governance advocate, Aisha yesufa, who joined the protest, was harassed and hounded by the police

Madam Aisha Yesufu is a brave woman. While everyone was running, this woman was walking casually in front of the police with her first raised high in defiance. Wish my phone wasn't dead. Would have been a perfect shot. We need more people life her. #ENDSARS

The Nigerian Police beat up @AishaYesufu and scratched her car.

When they threw teargas she couldn’t run because of her age.

They surrounded her and beat her up.

Let the world know. #EndSARS #EndSARSAbujaProtest
