Nigeria is among the countries in the world known for police brutality since time immemorial. And the government and other agencies involved has refused to take a drastic step to ensure that this menace is brought to a halt.
While the number of victims (majorly youths) who have suffered from the FSARS witch-hunting (known as Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad)a unit under the Nigerian Police Force kept increasing every year and nothing is being done. The youths and young people of Nigeria who seem to be the target audience of this unit have taken unto the streets of Lagos, Abuja Ibadan, Benin, and other states in Nigeria to demonstrate their disinterest to the politicians.
Among their outcries to the government (both Federal & State) is to proscribe the FSARS, unit of Police Force and reform the NPF- Nigerian Police Force. We urge every meaningful media personality, journalist and media houses to help us tweet at CNN, BBC, Aljazerra and others to cover this struggle. We need our voices to be heard.
