Today is #EndSARS anniversary - Punch Newspapers

For several days last year, the #EndSARS protest raged across Nigeria. Hoodlums said to be sponsored by the state, took over the protest and wreaked havoc. It took the intervention of the military for things to calm down.

In response to the demands of the protesters, the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, or SARS, was disbanded on October 11, 2020, but it was soon replaced with SWAT, or Special Weapons Tactical Team. Special investigative boards were set up across the states. Hitherto pent up tensions against SARS officers who seem to take delight in harassing successful youths who sometimes drive cars, more expensive than their looks, got to a head andMany of the protagonists of the “leaderless” protest, including Onanuju Catherine Ude, better known as DJ Switch, who recently surfaced in a video in Oslo, Norway, are currently in hiding from the state as political refugees in other countries.

Because many of the youths are “natives” of the Internet that has the capacity to share information in real-time, it was easy to mobilise the youths in Lagos, other parts of the country and even in the diaspora.
