People are saying SARS SHOULD BE ENDED. This just confirmed the reason why Nigeria police should be completely looked into. The protests are peaceful ones. Why should they (The police) be treating the protesters as rioters? #EndSARSImmediately #EndSARSProtest #ReformPoliceNG

The way to prevent a riot, and ugly violent is a peaceful dialogue, the action of the police forces in Abuja might bring something else to the table. It’s really not a great call by the police in Abuja, shooting and firing of tear gas to unarmed citizens is really a shameful thing to do. It’s really crazy.
Nigerians are crying out, when will this injustice, human right violation and police brutality end?
