EndSARS is a social movement that has been going on for a while, but which gained momentum in the last few days due to increased reports of harassment and extra-judicial killings by operatives of the police unit.

The movement, which started on Twitter, evolved into street protests across the country and overseas.

THE WHISTLER reported earlier that the campaign had gained international attention as no fewer than five American and British celebrities have lent their voices to the movement.
