SARS   BAN: Police brutality is an extreme experience in Nigeria and protesters have had enough   Protesters all over Africa, Europe, and Canada have joined together demanding that the special anti-robbery squad or Sars must be put to an end.   Although Sars has been banned they are furious at the fact that this officer has been employed to other police units rather than being disciplined.   Once the news that the police officers that were included in Sars were just redeployed the numbers of protesters rapidly increased.   The situation seemed to have angered so many people that celebrities paused their careers to come out and protest with other campaigners.     Just like the UK and the USA, this is not the first time a protest based on police brutality has been done in Nigeria.    Although there has been protest going on for the last 4 days based on the police brutality, this has not seemed to have stopped the police from using weapons again...

Heck in on them so that they know someone cares and they are not alone” Student...
