EndSARS was an online and offline protest movement in Nigeria against police brutality and corruption that gained national and international attention. It began in October 2020 and has sparked a call for real and lasting change in Nigeria's criminal justice system. The EndSARS protests have since resulted in a number of reforms including the disbandment of the Nigerian police force's infamous Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) and the formation of the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team. It is also hoped that the government will address broader grievances that have led to discontent with the Nigerian police force.
