Protests were also held in Canada and Dublin, Ireland

The #EndSARS protest resumed again in 2020 when a video clip emerged on Twitter of a witness claiming SARS operatives had murdered a young man and took off with his Lexus Jeep.

More outcry came as many more victims – dead and alive – were revealed with in depth information of the trauma they went through in the hands of SARS.

This In the end, the NG Government finally heard its citizens and made the move to dissolve SARS.
