Nigerians in several locations in the country came out in droves to call for the scrapping of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, also known as SARS. The move follows a similar call on twitter which has been trending since last week with the hashtag #EndSARS.

Photos from the march in Lagos, Abuja and Ibadan are still circulating online.

Before the rally, Nigerians online and several newspapers have shared stories from SARS brutality victims and eyewitnesses. The stories have attracted the attention of people worldwide, including the middle east based media platform Aljazeera among others.
