EndSARS
EndSARS was a social movement in Nigeria that began in 2020, aimed at ending police brutality, particularly by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS). Protesters demanded reforms to the police force and accountability for officers involved in violence and abuse. The movement gained significant attention both locally and internationally, highlighting issues of human rights in Nigeria.
The protests were marked by peaceful demonstrations, but they escalated when the government responded with force. The hashtag #EndSARS became a rallying cry on social media, uniting many Nigerians, especially the youth, in their fight against systemic injustice and for better governance.
