#EndSARS protesters have taken to the streets to hold a candle light in remembrance of victims of police brutality in Nigeria.
EkoHotBlog recalls that for over a week now, agitated Nigerian youths have taken to the streets in various states to call for an end to the activities of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), following the incessant deaths caused by them.
Reacting, the Inspector-general of police, Mohammed Adamu on Sunday, announced that he had dissolved the unit, and a few days after, announced the establishment of another unit to replace SARS, Special Weapons and Tactics Team.
Nigerians however, kicked against the idea, saying it was only a disguise and calling for an outright ban ever since.
Today, the protesters chose to remember fallen heroes who were killed by SARS officials, and candle lights are being held across various states in honour of them.
Some of them have taken to Twitter to share pictures and videos from the night, as well as the names of some of the victims.
