#EndSARS
#EndSARS is a social movement in Nigeria that began in 2020, aimed at ending police brutality, particularly by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS). Protesters highlighted numerous cases of violence, extortion, and human rights abuses committed by this unit, calling for reforms in the Nigerian police force.
The movement gained international attention through social media, with many Nigerians and supporters worldwide using the hashtag #EndSARS to raise awareness. The protests led to widespread demonstrations across Nigeria, prompting the government to disband SARS and promise police reforms, although many activists continue to advocate for systemic changes.
