Some of their followers, however, urged them to relay the messages to their fathers directly as it would yield better results, instead of posting on the social media platform.

In the past few days, thousands of Nigerians have taken to the streets of major cities like Lagos, Abuja and Ibadan to protest against extortion and brutality by operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in a campaign that has continued to gain global attention.

On Friday, the #EndSARS hashtag was the most talked about topic not only in Nigeria but in the UK and US and across the world.

The renewed protests against SARS started last Saturday after a video showing a man allegedly gunned down in Delta by operatives of the police unit went viral.

Buhari had recently directed Mohammed Adamu, inspector-general of police, to address the concerns of Nigerians about police brutality.
