Nigeria 'rogue' SARS police banned from stop and search

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

Nigerians have been calling for the unit to be disbanded altogether, posting with the hashtag #EndSARS on social media. The latest uproar followed the alleged killing of a young man by SARS officers in Lagos. The NGO Amnesty International has accused officers from the unit of using torture, and other human rights abuses, and the latest social media campaign follows several similar efforts in the past. The Âé¶¹Éç's Chris Ewokor tells Focus on Africa more.
