An advocate for social justice and promoter of the #EndSARS campaign Rinu Oduala says she is unfazed by the freezing of her bank account by the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Details emerged on Friday that the CBN got a court order freezing the accounts of 20 #EndSARS promoters till January 2021. Ms Oduala’s account was among them.

Oduala, however, said in a tweet on Friday night that her only crime was protesting against police brutality.

“My name is even the first on the list. Such a criminal that I am, that I protested without arms only putting on a white shirt stained red to say the Police should stop killing we youths.

“Freeze my account from today till tomorrow. I no get car. I go trek! #EndSars,” she wrote.

Oduala is representing youths on the Lagos judicial panel on #EndSARS matters. Temitope Majekodunmi is also representing youths.
