According to the committee, the #EndSARS protest endangers the lives of the demonstrators, as well as other residents of the capital territory, emphasizing that the protesters have failed to comply with COVID-19 guidelines.
The statement reads,
While the committee recognizes the rights of citizens as regards freedom of association and movement as enshrined in the constitution, it has observed that the unruly conduct of the crowd and manner of demonstrations are in complete violation of the COVID-19 safety protocols which were put in place to safeguard the lives of citizens.
These violations endanger the lives of not just the demonstrators, but also other citizens going about their legitimate concerns.
For the avoidance of doubt, the COVID-19 guidelines regulating public gatherings recommend physical distancing, temperature checks, the use of facial coverings, amongst others.
Clearly, all these guidelines were flouted by the protesters. Consequently, the committee directs that due to the dangers posed by COVID-19, all street demonstrations, protests and processions will not be allowed anywhere within the FCT.

In a tweet shared by the #Revolutionnow leader, he said,

His statement in full,
“Omoyele Sowore is just pained that Revolution Now flopped and End SARS protest is a major international success.
“He’s got a big ego and would like to lead the movement but because he was denied that opportunity now he’s making these spurious allegations.
“I’ve investigated it – and not just me, I don’t want to mention names – major people have investigated this, they found out that it’s completely untrue.”
“Omoyele Sowore is a common blackmailer, and I’m sure a lot of you know this part.”
“Omoyele Sowore is just like Festus Keyamo. He was hoping to be made a Minister by Muhammadu Buhari and so when Muhammadu Buhari came on board and did not make him a Minister, it was after he came out with his ministerial list that Omoyele started to fight him.
“He has a personal quarrel with Muhammadu Buhari, face your personal quarrel but don’t jeopardize the movement, don’t jeopardize the emancipation of Nigeria from the oppressors. There is no truth to that allegation. End SARS is a spontaneous people mass movement; there is no leader. And Omoyele Sowore, if you are sure of your allegations, name names.”
