Nigerian youth protesting extrajudicial activities by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) have raised an alarm by the Lagos State Police Command to kill them.

The protesters, who are embarking on a three-day demonstration for the disbandment of SARS, a dreaded unit of the Nigeria Police Force, had spend the night at the Lagos State Police Command on Wednesday.

However, on Thursday night, Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, reportedly ordered his men to dislodged the #EndSARS protesters that camped in front of State House of Assembly in Alausa, Ikeja.

The convener of OperationSanitize, Savvy Rinu, who is one of the organisers of the protest, had tweeted that the police towed their cars and were trying to dislodge them.

I was wrong!
The @PoliceNG led by CP Odumosu just towed away our cars and are trying to dislodge us!
Start tweeting! If we die tonight, we died for a worthless nation! https://t.co/HKPj2JKkac
