UAE Residents Peacefully Join The #EndSARS Campaign Against Controversial Nigerian Police Force
If you’ve been surfing about on Twitter recently, you would’ve noticed the #EndSARS or #EndPoliceBrutality tags trending. These hashtags were started to raise awareness against the controversial Special Anti-Robbery Squad or SARS of Nigeria.
The discussions started when people shared stories and videos of how SARS has been treating the public and especially the youth of the nation.
