Muhammad Dingyadi, minister of police affairs, says the federal government has fully implemented the demands presented by #EndSARS protesters.
In October 2020, protesters, under the #EndSARS movement, took to streets across the country to demand an end to police brutality.
The protests resulted in the disbandment of the special anti-robbery squad of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
The protesters had also made five demands, including the immediate release of all arrested protesters; justice for all deceased victims of police brutality; setting up of an independent body to investigate police misconduct; psychological evaluation of SARS operatives before redeployment; and salary increase for police officers.
Speaking on Tuesday at an event organized by Cleen Foundation with support from MacArthur Foundation, Dingyadi said the government has also set up the police public complaints committee for citizens to report police misconduct.
“The President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration has fully implemented the demands presented by peaceful protesters in October 2020, which was unfortunately hijacked by unpatriotic elements,” he said.
“It would be recalled that the government expeditiously approved the disbanding of the special anti-robbery squad, which was foremost among the demands of the protesters.
“The five demands of the protesters, otherwise known as the ‘five for five’ demands, also included setting up of independent investigation, justice for victims of police infractions, and re-evaluation of disbanded SARS personnel, and the upward review of police emolument has been fully implemented by the government towards emplacing permanent solutions to trust deficit between the police and the citizenry.
