The campaign by Nigeria’s youth asking for the dissolution of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FSARS) entered a new dimension on Monday, in Lagos.
Hundreds of protesters assembled at the Lekki Toll Gate and effectively blocked traffic both ways
The campaign even adopted a new hashtag #SARSMUSTEND and declared today a public holiday.

The protesters are not satisfied by the mere the dissolution of FSARS by IGP Mohammed Adamu on Sunday.
They actually believed the announcement was scam as FSARS operatives will resurface in new guise.
The demands are: immediate release of all arrested protesters, justice for the deceased victims of FSARS, an enquiry into the atrocities of FSARS and prosecution of those indicted.
They also want psychiatric tests for FSARS men before they are disbanded and better welfare package for the policemen.
