The #ENDSARS campaign has been branded 'politically
motivated' and the police claim criminals are behind the campaign but it
appears the world is watching. The trending issue featured on BBC and
below is how they reported it...
An online campaign against police brutality has gone viral in Nigeria.
The hashtag #EndSARS started trending over the weekend
after a post claiming a young man was shot by the police’s Special
Anti-Robbery Squad, known as Sars.
On Saturday, a user with the handle @YabaKid claimed to
have seen officers from the Special Anti-Robbery Squad shoot a boy in
the head in front of him.
The user had been tweeting with the hashtag #EndSARS for
many months but in the past few days thousands of others have responded
with their own stories of police brutality.
Many claimed to have been held at gunpoint, arrested
without charge, forced to pay bribes and even shot by officers from the
unit.
Well-known musician Simi claimed she and a group of friends
were held at gunpoint by Sars officers for - as she put it -
“laughing”.
Thousands of Twitter users are now calling for the unit to be disbanded.
In response to the campaign, the inspector general of
police said he had ordered a complete re-organisation of the Special
Anti-Robbery Squad.
He also called for an “instant investigation” into all the allegations and complaints levelled against the unit.
