Nigerian youths’ protest against police brutality has reverberated across the world with Nigerians in the diaspora joining the cause.

Since the calls for the scrapping of Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), a controversial unit of the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) spiralled out of social media, Nigerians have taken to the streets in several cities across the country.

To show their support, Nigerians around the world have also joined in the protest at their respective bases.
