As #EndSARS protest engulfs the country despite ban of the high handed SARS. The patriotic #EndSARS protesters are demanding for what will bring peace and balanced reforms of the Nigerian Police. The Federal Government has finally granted #EndSARS protesters' Demands and agreed to meet demands tabled by the protesters.
The demands are:
* Justice for all deceased victims of police brutality and appropriate compensation for their families.
* Setting up an independent body to oversee the investigation and prosecution of all reports of police misconduct (within 10 days).
* In line with the new police act, psychological evaluation and retraining (to be confirmed by an independent body) of all disbanded SARS before they can redeployed.
* Increase police salary so that they are adequately compensated for protecting lives and property of citizens.
A statement by Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said among the terms agreed to: are halting use of force against protesters and unconditional release of arrested citizens.
The Ministry of Police Affairs and Police Service Commission were also present at the meeting affirmed the five-point demand of the protesters and the #ENDSARS movement are genuine concerns and will be addressed by the government.
Now that the #EndSARS demands have been granted through press release, hope those in charge of the implementations will not test the resolves of these Patriotic Nigerians?
