On Sunday, October 11, 2020, the Inspector General of Police
(IGP), Mohammed Adamu, disbanded SARS
following a widespread protest from Nigerians worldwide. However,
since the announcement that SARS has been scrapped, the protesters
refused to leave the streets, this resulted in the declaration of a
curfew by the Lagos government.
Following the curfew, soldiers of the Nigerian Army invaded
a peaceful protest at Lekki toll gate on Tuesday evening, October
20, killing #EndSARS protesters in the
process.
