Says social media escalated demonstration
“Our men acted professionally during the protest. They had their guns, they were being killed, yet they respected human dignity…”
The Nigerian Inspector-General of Police, Muhammad Adamu, has said the personnel of the police respected Nigerians amid recent #EndSARS protests across the country.
The nation’s police chief also declared that social media was the biggest weapon used to escalate #EndSARS protests.
The protest started on a peaceful note until hoodlums infiltrated the demonstration seeking justice against police brutality and total reform of the force.
Adamu spoke on Thursday in Owerri when he visited Governor Hope Uzodinma to inspect damages done to both public and private properties by hoodlums.

The IG hailed police officers for acting in a professional manner during the unrest.
“Our men acted professionally during the protest. They had their guns, they were being killed, yet they respected human dignity. I came to visit vandalised property and to see the level of damage done to police facilities in Imo.’’
The IGP, however, promised to boost the morale of personnel dampened by the widespread of violence.
