The rogue police unit, called the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), has taken to extorting, robbing, intimidating, harassing, physically and sexually assaulting, raping, and killing Nigerian youths with impunity.
In response to these, the Nigerian Youths began a series of peaceful protests, starting on Thursday, 8 October 2020. The Nigerian Government, in response to our peaceful protests, has, through its police agents, killed at least 10 innocent and unarmed citizens, assaulted and wounded many, unduly arrested peaceful protesters, used hot water sprays and tear gas on peaceful protesters, beaten protesters, physically assaulted peaceful protesters among other abuses.
It is time to end the brutality and come together as a community demanding more. Use the links on this page to engage however you can. Help this generation of Nigerians end the violence, stop the killings, and bring peace and security back to their country.
