Nigerian youths including protesters tonight, have taken to the
streets to hold a candle night remembrance service for victims of
police brutality in Nigeria.
Recall that for sometime now, the protesters have taken to the
streets in various states to agitate for an end to the activities
of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS),
following the incessant deaths caused by them.
Reacting, the Inspector-general of police, Mohammed
Adamu on Sunday, announced that he had disolved the unit,
and a few days after, announced the establishment of another unit
to replace SARS, Special Weapons and Tactics Team.
Nigerians however, kicked against the idea, saying it was only a
disguise and calling for an ouright ban ever since.
Today, the protesters chose to remember fallen hereos who were
killed by SARS officials, and candle lights are being held accross
various states in honour of them.
Some of them have taken to Twitter to share pictures and
videos from the night, as well as the names of some of the
victims.
See tweets below:
RIP to the heroes we have lost
