    Nigerian tweeters have been using the #EndSARS hashtag demand an end to police brutality. And in response to the campaign, the inspector general of police said he's ordered a complete re-organisation of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad. http://bbc.in/2kj5E41 pic.twitter.com/kWzakF0wi1

        The IG ordered the dismantling of road blocks across the country, till now all the road blocks are there,even new ones are coming up,What we want is total scrapping of SARS, till we get that we are not backing out. They are the most corrupt police force in the world. #EndSARS

        You need to do a research on the #OkuzuSARS in Anambra state and find out more why people are fed up with this team of policemen.

        Dear BBC, what they do to us is beyond brutality. They are actually robbing the daylight out of us. And murdering the rest. #EndSARS

        I agree with you, but let the reorganisation start with scrapping SARS. SARS's brutality is traceable to its terms of reference.

        They're lying. Their orders don't work. They should stop the policemen from holding Ak47. It intoxicates them. Only from sergeants and above should hold pistols while the rest should have batons.

        And this is what his order means in Nigerian parlance: "The term RE-ORGANIZATION sounds more like reshuffling of SARS, such that those terrorizing Lagos, would be deployed to terrorize Abuja. Also PH would be deployed to do same to Benin" ~@ceonigeriahttps://twitter.com/BBCAfrica/status/937704404274372608 …
