Following the incessant killing and brutality instilled on Nigerians by the Police the Nigerian Youths on Wednesday has stormed the streets of Lagos to protest and demand an end to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
The youths who gathered at Ikeja Underbridge for the protest share videos and photos using the hashtag #LagosProtests.
They displayed placards with various inscriptions lamenting police brutality and unlawful killings.
The youths in a signed petition said despite several reforms announced by the Inspector General of Police,
“cases of abuse of citizens by operatives of the Special Anit-Robbery Squad have increased without any steps taken by the high command of the Nigeria Police Force to address the fundamental problem of impunity of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad.”
They, therefore, demand the total disbandment of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad.
They plan to take the protest to Police Headquarters in Ikeja and to the Lagos State House of Assembly and continue for the next three days.
