The EndSARS protest of last month has come and gone but it’s aftermath will continue to reverberate and live with us for a while. Thread
The EndSARS protest was led by the youth, who were calling for an end to police brutality and the
disbandment of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS). The protest started peacefully but was soon hijacked by hoodlums as it degenerated into a sad orgy of violence
Their five demands were:
i) Immediate release of all arrested protesters.
ii) Justice for all deceased victims of police brutality and appropriate compensation for their families.
iv) In line with the new Police Act, psychological evaluation and retraining (to be confirmed by an independent body) of all disbanded SARS officers before they can be redeployed.
v) Increase police salary so that they are adequately compensated for protecting lives & properties
