Many Nigerians have taken to Twitter to warn presidency to #EndSARS that indulges in harassment of young Nigerians or face a nationwide revolt.
The warning came after SARS officers in Osogbo, Osun State, chased two young boys to their death in an attempt to extort them. Read here
There has been a long aged hashtag of #EndSARS on Twitter and other social media platforms.
The SARS operatives have a long history of brutality, harassing well-dressed young Nigerians as well as moderately to shabby dressed young Nigerians and incriminating them by formulating evidences in an attempt to extort them.
Despite these excesses and numerous protest by Nigerians, the Federal Government and the Nigeria Police Force has allowed the SARS officers to carry out their inhuman operations and human rights violations unchecked.

SARS officers @PoliceNG are getting rich through their brutality. In Nigeria🇳🇬, it seems that torture is a lucrative business. This is hardly surprising when many of these officers have bribed their way to SARS in the first place.— Amnesty Int. Nigeria (@AmnestyNigeria) September 16, 2020

SARS; a Nigerian police @PoliceNG unit created to protect the people has instead become a danger to society, torturing its victims with complete impunity while fomenting a toxic climate of fear and corruption.— Amnesty Int. Nigeria (@AmnestyNigeria) September 16, 2020

EndSARS advocate, Según Awosanya, (@segalink) warned that Nigerians would revolt in no time if the rights violations do not end.
He said, “Shutdown the terrorist squads preying on the innocent for ransom now. We may have to brace ourselves for a nationwide revolt against the police generally if the IGP fails to address this madness effective immediately. Shutdown all the tactical squads for overhaul. #EndSARS”

“President @MBuhari is aware of the impunity of the @PoliceNG and the Presidency knows that the officers including the IGP are victims in the system being blamed for what they can’t fix. A single order from the President can shut down the cancer but do our lives matter? #EndSARS.”
