Protesters against police brutality and extra-judicial
killings have taken their demonstration to the National Assembly
complex in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
The protesters in their numbers stormed the complex displaying
placards lamenting extra-judicial killings and demanding justice
for victims of police brutality.
They sang songs of solidarity and chanted ‘EndSWAT!’
‘EndSWAT!’.
Security agents can however be seen forming a barricade at the
entrance to the National Assembly complex.
Thousands of protesters across the country have been protesting
in the last one week against the harassment, extortion, and
extrajudicial killings perpetrated by the Special Anti-Robbery
Squad (SARS) of the Nigeria Police Force.

The police authorities in response to the outcry of the
protesters disbanded the unit and announced the setting up of the
Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) unit as its replacement but the
protests and demonstrations continue nationwide with hashtags
#EndSWAT, #EndSARS, #EndPoliceBrutality dominating trends.
