#EndSARS protesters in Lagos have shut down the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
The protesters in their thousands are currently chanting
their simple demand: “End SARS now”.
Over the past week, Nigerian youths at home and abroad have
been protesting against police brutality which has been ongoing for decades.
The youths are asking that the federal government scrap the
Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the force for its indiscriminate use of
force, which has led to the deaths of numerous Nigerians.
Mohammed Adamu, the inspector general of police, on Sunday
evening dissolved the special police unit with a promise to redeploy the
officers to other units.
Since the dissolution, there have been cases of police
brutality across different parts of the nation.
They should investigate the alleged use of POS by SARS to facilitate transfer of money by their victims who had no cash on them.
