DOES NIGERIA NEED SARS??? #ENDSARS
Street protests against a notorious Nigerian police unit have received an invaluable boost from viral campaigning and celebrity support.
The hashtag is a public cry for the Nigerian government to disband the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS), a unit blighted by accusations of corruption and brutality.
This week, fresh protests erupted over the alleged killing of a man by SARS officers on Saturday.
The hashtag #ENDSARS has been trending at no.1 worldwide today, as protestors continue to demand a notorious police unit in Nigeria, is disbanded.
British-Nigerian actor John Boyega voiced his support for the campaign, as did popular Nigerian musicians Davido and DJ Cuppy.”This situation is tied to many other issues. Please lend your attention to this pressing problem!” Boyega posted on Twitter.
Chart-topping musician Davido tweeted: “My people need me …. #EndSarsNow.”
After receiving pressure from fans to publicly back the protests, DJ Cuppy wrote: “I would (be) lying if I said I’m DIRECTLY affected by SARS but a lot of my Cupcakes are and that’s enough for me to care. I stand behind the movement to #Endpolicebrutality AND #ENDSARS”
The animosity towards the unit is not new, however.
This week, street protests have been taking place across Nigeria, including in major cities like Lagos, Abuja and Ibadan.
So what do you think guys?
Do you want them to toss out Sars permanently from Nigeria??
Don’t you think they help Nigerians in other ways?
