“Don’t scrap ‘SARS’ reform it,” one placard reads.
“Police are always there to keep our society safe,” another reads.
“Say no to #EndSARS & Yes to #ReformSARS,” reads another.
Nigerians have accused the northern youths participating in the rally of being paid. Someone pointed out that the participants can’t read and that some of them had their placards turned upside down.
