1/ If you see the hashtag #EndSARS this does not refer to SARS-Cov-2 but to the police brutality, abuse and terror by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in Nigeria.

It's bad. x.com/kadunaconnect/…

2/ "Nigerians have shared both stories and video evidence of how members of SARS have engaged in kidnapping, murder, theft, rape, torture, unlawful arrests, high-handedness, humiliation, unlawful detention, extrajudicial killings, and extortion."

3/ The hashtag on social media changed at one point from #EndSARS to #SARSMustEnd. With the forming of a new unit Special Weapons and Tactics Team (SWAT) to replace SARS, the hashtag for the protests also included #EndSWAT.

4/ Worried now that Internet will be shut down in Nigeria in a government effort to mute the protests, prevent collaborative efforts and make the witness stories invisible to the outside world.
