Nigerian Police Seen Shooting Protestor In Back: Report
For those who don’t know, Nigerians are currently embroiled in a protest against the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, or SARS, a unit that has been criticized for using brutal methods and unlawful tactics against citizens. After video surfaced in which a SARS officer was seeing allegedly murdering a young man, President Muhammadu Buhari announced that he would be disbanding SARS, sparking concern that the succeeding SWAT unit would continue to employ similar tactics. As such, Nigerians have been taking to the streets by the thousands to combat police brutality, a protest that has since escalated into violence.
