<h1>In a bid to send #ENDSARS protesters away from the Force Headquarters in Abuja, men of the Nigeria Police Force resorted to shooting at young Nigerians protesting against police brutality.</h1>

<p>Nigerian youths had earlier <a href="https://www.pulse.ng/news/local/endsars-protesters-besiege-force-hq-as-police-kill-another-youth-in-ogbomosho/me9kh77">besieged the Force Headquarters on Saturday</a> to demand the disbandment of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), a police unit notorious for human rights violation.</p>

<p>The youths had insisted that they would not leave the premises of the building until the Inspector General of Police,<strong> Adamu Mohammed</strong> addressed them.</p>

<p>However, hours after the occupation of the Force Headquarters, police officers started to shoot at the protesters to send them away from the premises.&nbsp;</p>
