Same hashtag for years now without any proper response… Government actually doesn’t care about its people. Can’t convince me otherwise.

Please do not fall for govt pranks, don’t fall for promises to #ReformSARS. #ENDSARS is the only WAY forward, all the officers in SARS who’ve killed, maimed or extorted Nigerians MUST be openly tried in a court of law & Nigeria MUST set up compensation for victims #RevolutionNow

When will the @PoliceNG @PoliceNG_CRU address and fix these countless claims with video evidence of SARS men abducting citizens, harassing, threatening and shooting people? Especially in unmarked vehicles with no ID? ?is the @NGRSenate looking away?

If I drive my wife’s car (a Benz) on lekki expressway, 9 out of 10 times I’m double-crossed, gestapo style. I become really worried for people who are not famous. https://t.co/6rbRwh2TFU

They are always around Lekki conservation centre, City of David in VI, Ajah roundabout amongst others.
Once they spot a flashy car, a guy dressed in a certain way or u carry a certain kinda hair, automatically you are a criminal. My ID card saves me #EndSARS #EndSARSBrutality

Police brutality is sky rocketing by the day And the nigeria gov. Is not deaf nor blind, they see all the trends and tag along with whichever one they like. You don't have to like this one to do right thing. The hashtags are becoming tiring. The people are sick of it.

Don't ignore the people when they need you and come back later talking about the people are the problem of nigeria.

By farrrrr the MOST insensitive government ever in our history. Unbelievable. Just always so absent.

I join my voice to that of fellow Nigerians seeking an end to SARS… I wish to invite our friends who were once in the Nigeria Police Force and some still in service to rescue a once glorious institution… The pride of our once respected police must be restored! pic.twitter.com/sDNGpAnxPA

You’re not catching armed robbers, you’re killing bullying and stealing from innocent young people. SARS IS THE REAL ARMED ROBBER!!

Who did we offend? @MBuhari & @ProfOsinbajo How many more people do you want them to kill before you act as a commander in chief? #EndSARS
— Peter Okoye MrP (@PeterPsquare) October 4, 2020
They are doing more of killing us than protecting us. You have lost control of your men. Take these touts in uniforms off our streets. #EndSarsNow pic.twitter.com/ogdR6v645Q

END SARS!!!! @MBuhari @jidesanwoolu #WeAreTired
— Tiwa Savage ⚔️ (@TiwaSavage) October 4, 2020
@MBuhari @ProfOsinbajo is SARS in Nigeria not as S.W.A.T in the United States? They are only deployed when there is a special crime like Robbery, Hostage, kidnapping etc
They were not created to kill, extort and harass innocent Nigerians.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!#EndSARS #EndSarsNow— Peter Okoye MrP (@PeterPsquare) October 4, 2020
You were put here to protect us, but who protects us from you??

I'm a father more than an entertainer, so I feel the anger of parents and youths calling on the Govt and @PoliceNG to #EndSarsNow Those who are meant to protect us shouldn't put our lives and property at risk. @MBuhari @NGRSenate @femigbaja do something now!

“Protesting is never a disturbance of the peace. Corruption, injustice, war and intimidation are disturbances of the peace”
