Nigerians Take on SARS�� One On One
-
- Documentaire
End SARS is a decentralised social movement, and series of mass protests against police brutality in Nigeria. The slogan calls for the disbanding of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, a notorious unit of the Nigerian Police with a long record of abuses.
Over the last two weeks, protests organized around #EndSARS—the mass action calling for a complete ban of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Nigerian police force—has rocked cities across Nigeria. Set up in the mid-1990s to combat incidences of armed robbery, SARS has over the years metamorphosed into a force associated with harassment of innocent citizens, extortion at gunpoint, and extrajudicial killings of suspects.
In this solo episode of the OneOnOne Podcast, I go deep on trending and pressing issues about the SARS unit of the Nigerian Police Force and why the Nigerian Government keeps shut. We look at those we've lost to the fight.
