Nigeria has been in a state of massive civil unrest for the past few weeks as large numbers of the public gather to protest the notoriously corrupt Special Anti-Robbery Squad. The protests started after a video was released of unprovoked SARS officers killing a man in Ughelli on Oct. 3, as reported by The New York Times. The protests have gained international support, with #EndSARS trending on Twitter. The government has responded to the dissent with harsh crackdowns and violence toward protesters.
