The #EndSARS protesters were blindsided by hired thugs in Abuja Wednesday as they were attacked during the protests.
Thugs wielding various weapons, with the aid of the police, fell upon the #EndSARS protesters, smashing cars and anything in their way.
See photos showing some of the cars that were damaged by thugs at protest.
The drastic turn of events has incensed Nigerian Twitter users, who lament the pathetic state of affairs in the country today.

Some of the hired thugs who were paid N1500 according to information gathered were captured with many of them injured:
