The #EndSARS protest, initially a call to end police brutality and abuse of power by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), gained momentum and led to the disbandment of SARS by the Nigerian government. The protest later turned violent as some took advantage of the situation, resulting in the burning of police stations and attacks on officers and citizens. The movement’s culmination on October 20 saw the Nigerian Army’s intervention, resulting in casualties among the youth protesters.
