Wizkid, an award-winning singer, says the disbandment of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) signals the dawn of a new Nigeria.
Mohammed Adamu, the inspector-general of police (IGP), had on Sunday dissolved the police unit after heated protests across the nation.
In a flurry of tweets, the ‘Fever’ crooner said the disbandment was indicative of the fact that the people can bring about societal rebirth with such a united voice.
The music star also commended Nigerians who supported the #EndSARS campaign, urging them to dissipate similar energy in demanding good governance in the country.
“This is just the beginning!! We won our fight to #ENDSARS .. now Reform the Nigerian police!! #Endpolice brutality! We deserve good governance! #Endpolicebrutality,” he wrote.
