End Sars campaign is getting bigger and bigger, Protesters have blocked the airport road.
Endsars protesters have blocked the road to Airports and they are read to disrupt the whole country. As a result, the Nigerian Army Says It Is Prepared to Step In to Quell Protests
Military signals it is ready to aid government after days of rallies against police brutality
Nigeria’s army signaled it was prepared to intervene in a standoff between a burgeoning protest movement against police brutality and the government of Africa’s biggest oil-producing nation.
Nationwide protests have rocked the country for eight consecutive days as thousands of mostly young Nigerians have marched in the West African nation’s largest cities.
The demonstrations began with a call to ban a notorious police unit, the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, or SARS, which has been accused of torture, extortion and extrajudicial killings. The government agreed to disband the unit on Sunday after the number of people killed in clashes with security forces rose to 10. But the demonstrations, organized under the name #EndSARS, have since mushroomed into broader protests against alleged police brutality and corrupt government.
Nigeria’s army said Thursday it was prepared to act decisively to help the government maintain law and order, warning “all subversive elements and troublemakers to desist.”
