EndSARS Protests
The #EndSARS protests were against the activities of the now-disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), a unit of the Nigeria Police Force which was accused of police brutality.
The epicentre of the protests was the Lekki tollgate in Lagos where many youths gathered day and night to air their grievances against police brutality and bad governance.
They were dispersed from the location by gun-wielding soldiers on October 20, 2020, an action which some quarters believe led to the loss of lives.
To warn against a repeat of what was witnessed in the state last year, the operatives of the state police command patrolled the streets in armoured tanks and other police vehicles.
