The British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Catriona Laing says the ongoing peaceful #EndSARS protests are capable of informing the change which Nigerians seek.
Laing in a tweet via her verified handle said: “peaceful protests are powerful.”
She also noted that the Police Act bill – recently signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari – should provide a good foundation for an accountable police force.
“Significant protests over #SARS demonstrating Nigerian people’s desire for police reform. Peaceful protests are powerful.
“The Police Act recently passed by @MBuhari provides a good foundation to build a more accountable community police force,” Laing wrote.
