Recall that, for the past few days Nigerians have taken to the street in different parts of the country to daily call for a total reform of the system.

The call started with a social movement on Twitter, requesting the banning of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, a unit of the Nigerian police force.

However, the relentless effort of the protesters led to the disbandment of SARS by the Inspector General of Police on Sunday, but Nigerians have continued the EndSARS protest in different parts of the country, despite the announced disbandment.

The EndSARS protest has moved from the single call of police reform, but to a total reform of governance.
