Man Set To Embark On 763-Kilometers (Lagos To Abuja) “TREK FOR HEROES MISSION” To Mark The Second Year Anniversary Of EndSars In Honour Of EndSars Fallen Heroes
Ejeh Attah Samson Odang, also known as Ejeh Dagogo, a Benue indigene, born Nigerian and the convener of “Trek For Heroes 2022”, is set to embark on a 763 kilometre trek from Lagos to Abuja in honour of Nigerians who lost their lives during the EndSars protest that happened in October 2020.
Ejah Samson, in his words, said his mission on “Trek For Heroes” is to honour all fallen heroes who are victims of the Bokoharam crisis, servicemen who died in active service, the Owo massacre, and most importantly, those Nigerian youths who lost their lives during the EndSars crisis. We must never forget the sacrifices of our heroes of activism, their peaceful struggle, and the patriotism of our servicemen. They must never leave our subconscious.
It is in this regard and in their honour that I will be starting a trek of 763KM from Lagos to Abuja, he said.
The Trek will start from Lekki Tollgate (Victoria Island) in Lagos and finish at the National Secretariat, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, cutting across 8 states. The trek was said to commence on Monday, October 3rd, 2022, and was planned to arrive in Abuja on Sunday, November 13th, 2022. Where he will be covering and camping at a minimum distance of 22 kilometres daily with the headline: “TREK FOR HEROES”.
According to Ejeh (Dagogo), the trek is aimed at achieving the following objectives:
• To remember the victims of the previous EndSars protest and other security operations throughout the country.
• Creating a sense of balance in the # EndSarsProtest narrative.
• To feed 800 people in eight states
• To campaign for youth participation in politics as a way to bring about the desired political change.
• Raise funds for people suffering from kidney disease through a collaboration with the Nigeria Association of Nephrology.
Similarly, Dagogo pleaded for corporate and individual sponsorship towards achieving his aim and objectives of the “Trek For Heroes 2022.”
While addressing security challenges, Dagogo said all security measures had been put in place. He has already written letters to the police and army high command and is still waiting for their feedback.
