Pro-SARS supporters, who are mostly made up of Fulani and Hausa boys, have allegedly attacked Nigerians protesting against the extrajudicial activities of the now-defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in Berger, Abuja.
In series of videos circulating on the social media, the Pro-SARS thugs were seen attacking the #EndSARS protesters with sticks, machetes and several weapons.
The #EndSARS protesters were demostrating against the now-disbanded SARS tactical unit of the Nigerian Police Force over brutality, illegal arrest, extortion, extra-judicial killings, among others.
However, the Pro SARS said they want SARS to continue operating, noting that the Federal Government should have reform, sanitise and strengthen the Police unit rather than scrapping it as agitated by others.
It was gathered that over 10 cars were destroyed by the Pro SARS supporters, but some of the thugs have been captured and are being taken to the hospital.
Below are some of the photos and video from the scene:

KanyiDaily recalls that Governor Babagana Zulum had demanded the redeployment of the ex-SARS operatives to Borno state so they could help in combating the menace of Boko Haram and the Islamic State for West Africa Province (ISWAP).
