It comes on the heels of a protest that has evolved daily, with hashtags changing incessantly.

In the earlier days of the demonstrations, many young Nigerians took to the streets to protest the brutality and injustice they have encountered at the hands of SARS officials.

This protest forced the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu to dissolve the infamous subunit of the force.

However, two days later, the IGP announced a new unit named SWAT, it was perceived that this team was to take over the operations of SARs, and this did not sit well with the people.

This sparked a new protest with demonstrators calling for the disbanding of the newly constituted SWAT team.

According to the protesters, the agitation has continued because the decision to immediately replace SARS operatives with SWAT is so sudden.

More than 6 people have died and scores wounded since last Saturday.

The federal government had been accused of attempting to suppress theNEWSTwitter CEO, Jack Dorsey who joined the End SARS campaign Twitter campaign.
