IGP briefs Buhari on #ENDSARS protests

The Inspector-General of Police, Adamu Mohammed, on Thursday, briefed President Muhammadu Buhari on the ongoing #EndSARS protests in the country.

There have been renewed calls for the Federal Government to scrap the Special Anti-robbery Squad (SARS) over alleged acts of brutality.

The IGP had last weekend banned SARS and other police tactical squads from conducting stop-and-search operations, mounting of police checkpoints, and other activities nationwide.
