A video has now gone viral on the micro-blogging site, Twitter showing a Police officer urging the crowd to continue their protest against the activities of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
The Policeman whose voice was caught on camera lamented that his own innocent brother was arrested and maltreated by SARS operatives.
Adding that despite his intervention, they didn’t respect the fact that he was also an officer like them.
It will be recalled that the #Endsars protest which started as a social media protest, has now gained traction and assumed a physical dimension as protesters have stormed several cities in the country, demanding an immediate end to the activities of SARS operatives.
The #Endsars protesters across various cities in the country are demanding among other things, an end to the indiscriminate acts of police brutalities and particularly the total disbandment of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), a controversial unit of the police force.
