But the announcement by the Inspector General of Police did not slow the #EndSARS campaign down.

This evening, the Police on its Twitter handle, urged Nigerians to replace #EndSARS with #SupportSARS while the police embark on #ReformSARS.
The tweet reads: “Irrespective of some infractions from few personnel of SARS who allegedly acted against the ethics of the Police Profession which are now being investigated, majority of Police personnel attached to SARS are good, sound, disciplined and commendable officers. #SupportSARS
“We assure the general public that we are sieving out the wheat from the chaff in this regard. #ReformSARS #SupportSARS”
