Two weeks after unrest over the issue rocked the country, the police yesterday tear-gassed some #EndSARS protesters and arrested four, as dozens demonstrated in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, (FCT) against police abuses, activists said,.
Footage on social media showed a small crowd taking to the streets to try to keep up pressure on the authorities after a bloody crackdown helped stamp out demonstrations last month.
Four of our members were arrested this morning in front of the National Assembly,” rights activist, Deji Adeyanju told AFP.
Recall that the country was swept by weeks of widespread protests in October sparked by anger over brutality from the police’s Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
The government disbanded the unit and pledged reforms but still struggled to contain the challenge.
